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.
