I've been trying to install ubuntu on my new computer, HP Envy x360 m6-w102dx but in this computer, the wifi seems to be not recognized. I've been trying to enable it but as shown in dmesg | grep iwl, I noticed this error

iwlwifi 0000:08:00.0: direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-15/14.uc oder failed with error -2

Seems like a Intel (R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265 wlan card, but can't see it in rfkill list at all.

Please help me. I would like to install ubuntu on my computer but can't seem to fix the wifi problem.

Please refer to this link. As per that Intel certifies Linux kernel 4.2 onwards for that wifi card.

I had Intel 3165 and struggled a lot with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS. Finally i decided to fresh install Ubuntu 15.10 and that fixed the problem. Same i will suggest for you - it will save time and efforts.

You can refer to my thread here

I could only fix it by installing Ubuntu 15.10 which comes with Kernel 4.1/4.2. With the upgraded kernel in Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS i used to get some what intermittent connection issues with the work around suggested in that thread.

When you are installing Ubuntu 15.10 - i will suggest connect your laptop via Ethernet cable. Once everything is installed then you can test your wifi card also. It should work.
