I can see that it complains about not finding suitable firmware, but I am at my wits end as to knowing what to do further...
I've tried copying the latest firmware into the /lib/firmware dir and doing the modprobe cmd to no avail.
I've also renamed the file iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm in /lib/firmware (not sure if I need to rename iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm as well - tried it but it did not seem to make any difference) and rebooted with no luck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am out of my depth here and really want to get this beast up and running.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. just as a by-note - the Bluetooth and Ethernet seems to work fine
