iwlwifi-3160 not working

[Capodastro]

Hi, here my output:

tc@box:~$ dmesg | grep iwl
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: irq 48 for MSI/MSI-X
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Falling back to user helper
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode' failed.
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Falling back to user helper
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode' failed.
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
tc@box:~$

I discovered the firmware folder in "/usr/local/lib/firmware". I checked for the needed firmware and it was was missed, so I I concluded I do not own a "tinycore premium" wireless card. 
From an other Linux installation where the card works 100% I copied the 3
firmware filesin that folder:

iwlwifi-3160-7ucode'
iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode'
iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode'

The kernels are quite similar.
I made the files pseudo-persistent and rebooted
I got the same output from dmesg
Any Idea?
I feel a bit terrorized remembering that the installation CD offered me to install the ndiswrapper...

Hi Capodastro
Maybe try  iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode  from here:
https://github.com/OpenELEC/iwlwifi-firmware/tree/master/firmware

Backup happens later than the initial device probing, so you'll need to tell the driver to probe again after the firmware files are available.

Put "modprobe iwlwifi" to /opt/bootlocal.sh, for example.

Rich, curaga,
thanks a lot! I'try all that

Hi all,
finally I got  some free time again!

After downloading the firmware from the url you gave me and putting in /usr/local/lib the two requested firmwares I get still the same error messages.

/opt/bootlocal.sh looks:
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
cp 10-keyboard.conf /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
cp iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode /usr/local/lib/firmware
cp iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode /usr/local/lib/firmware
modprobe iwlwifi

The size by the firmware files which I downloaded looks enormous (each one 26405) if compared with iwlwifi files already present (typically 72)
Any idea?

[curaga]

Perhaps you have to remove it first before reloading (modprobe -r iwlwifi; modprobe iwlwifi).

[Capodastro]

Well, what would be this distro without you guys ?!

Additionally, because I never downloaded from github I just downloaded the link instead the binary!

And here finally the desired output
