How to Get Wireless Network Connected

[Ray Joseph]

I would like to get networking running on v3.2. I installed from a download to a USB from Debian 8. I have now replaced Debian 8 with Qubes OS v3.2. When installing, I had both a w ireless hotspot and a USB3 connected Ethernew dock. Neither one worked on boot up.

I am running version 3.2 on a Toshiba laptop. I have used this machine to run Debian 8 with wireless. I am not getting a connection.

I get an error window about 120 seconds after booting:
ERROR: Tor Bootstrap Result:
Whonixcheck gave up waiting.
Tor Circuit: not established
Bootstrapping 5% done
...
Possible issues:
- is the host's internet connection working?
- Whonix-Gateway will need a few moments for bootstrapping the Tor network.
- Do you live in a censored area?

I am using the same Verizon access point I used on Debian. A listing of points from a terminal in sys-net shows the access point.

Inside sys-net:
dmesg | grep iwlwifi produces:
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-19 .... failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-18 .... failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-17 .... failed with error -2
Loaded firmware version 16.242414.0 op_mode iwlmvm
...
wlp0s0: renamed from wlan0

I have some concerns:
1) The system is trying 7265D-19, -18, -17, and fails then loads -16. In Debian, it tried 25, 24, 23 and loaded 22. It would not load 26 which is the newest I could find. Is there a concern for using such old drivers? If so, is there anything I should do?
2) The wifi name was renamed. Where does this happen and why? Are there any implications?

lsmod shows the iwlmvm and iwlwifi are loaded.

modinfo iwlmvm shows iwlwifi,mac80211,cfg80211

ip a
shows wlp0s0 to be down.
ifup wlp0s0 says it is not configured.

sudo rmmod iwlmvm says it is not loaded.
sudo modprobe iwlmvm there was no response

ip a shows wlp0s0 still down.

I am not sure where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated. I plan to change to v4.0 this coming week.
