The following component is being detected by Linux:

It _could_ be supported by the "iwm" driver, at least model 3160
is definitely on the list.

     The iwm driver provides support for:

	   Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160	<--- maybe?
	   Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165
	   Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260
	   Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265
	   Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8260

     [...]

     This driver requires the firmware built with the iwmfw module to work.

See "man 4 iwm" for details.
