I'm running Debian linux with kernel version 4.6.0 on a Asus GL752VW-DH71 laprop and my wireless adapter stopped working after installing the Nvidia 960m driver. The wireless was working great prior to installing the Nvidia driver and I can't figure out what caused it to break. I can see the wireless icon, but there are no networks to connect to and iwconfig does not show any wireless adapters, ifconfig only shows eth0 and lo. I have the latest driver installed iwlwifi-7265-17.ucode, which worked prior to the driver, but now I get the following message in dmesg:
[ 5002.636888] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux

The system appears to detect the wireless adapter just fine, but for whatever reason it does not want to load the firmware:
rfkill list:

lspci |grep Wireless:

I've tried removing and reloading the iwlwifi module using modprobe and restarting the network-manager service but it doesn't work. I completely removed the Nvidia driver, but still no wifi. Just to make sure it wasn't something else, I reinstalled the entire OS and the wifi was working, installed the nvidia driver, rebooted and no wifi once again. Even after completely removing the Nvidia driver, the wifi will not come back. What could be causing this?
