Stretch is at the moment "testing"...

[I have not been able to find those four specific files on the Internet.] I have copied iwlwifi from Intel and from the Debian wiki on wifi and placed the tarred files on a FAT32 formated stick in the 'firmware' directory. When I respond 'yes' to supplying the files, the screen blinks and returns - over and over again. If I select no, it moves to the driver selection page.
the query
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=iwlwifi-7265D&mode=filename&suite=testing&arch=any
yields
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265D-10.ucode firmware-iwlwifi
Thus the package "firmware-iwlwifi" might be what you need?

Sorry I can't say much to your other questions. But trying the Debian
package might be worth a shot.
