I have a spare laptop for testing purposes. Until recently it wasrunning Xubuntu 12.04. I have also previously used it with otherdistros, Mint for example. In all cases it found the wifi from therouter without any problem, at installation.

I am now testing Debian 7 Xfce on it. Mostly it works but, for somereason, it does not find the wifi. Same laptop, same router. I have beenlooking around the internet for possible answers, so far withoutsuccess. I think the necessary firmware is installed

BCM4318. The bc43 cutter is installed. This new version of Debian isjust out and I quite expected it to find the wifi without any problem.


Any suggestions please,

Neil
