WLAN Driver 8260NGW

Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo M900 with the WLAN card model 8260NGW, unfortunately Q4OS does not recognize this WLAN card. Now I'm looking for a driver and instructions on how to install it

Q4OS is Debian based, so any instructions for Debian how to make your card working will be applicable in Q4OS as well, see for example https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi

I also own a Lenovo M900 and I run Q4OS 5.7 KDE on it with no issues using the exact same WLAN card you are using. Drivers are already included in the kernel for this card. Im guessing its something to do with your connection not directly with the hardware itself.
Can you use your ethernet connection on the M900 to allow you to check your internet connection?
