So I acquired a Intel NUC the other day and paired it with a Intel 7260 Wifi card. It’s been years since I’ve gone to install a Linux OS and have it not be able to detect and bring online a network device. It’s rather painful especially when one only has a single monitor, keyboard and mouse on hand.
As it turns out the Intel 7260 card I chose requires binary firmware to be loaded in order to bring the device online. Here’s how.
The bluetooth utils under Debian Jessie is different to previous releases. Most of the guides floating about no longer appear to apply - at least some of the key utils are no longer available.

Oh! This is all going to be via the commandline (naturally).
Here is the mandatory first post to commemorate (possibly) my 5th attempt at creating a personal website. 5th because I’m lazy and am easily bored, so personal pet projects tend to get lost rather quickly. With that in mind, this website is powered by Hyde, one of many static-web generators, this one just happens to be Python based. A popular alternative appears to be Jekyll, but I know next to nothing about Ruby, so left that well alone.
