Hi I am trying to get the wireless working on my netbook, just installed debian 7.4 net install (via ethernet) and need to get the wireless device working according to lspci this is 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) Using this page as a guide https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/11/msg00110.html aptitude install module-assistant wireless-tools m-a a-i broadcom-sta modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac modprobe wl iwconfig if I enter this at the command line m-a a-i broadcom-sta i get the following broadcom-sta, Whatis broadcom sta. I am simply trying to follow the instructions, so the above output is not really helpful, can anyone help please. Note it works fine under Lubuntu, so the drivers are out there, just how to install them on debian, if I need to enable non free repositories how do I do this, ? this is a very minimal install (which is what I want) I am going to install JUST what I need, gnome is the normal default gui system but its far too bloated, and has too much of stuff I don't want or will never use, its easier to start with minimal and build up. thanks Paul -- -- web : http://www.zleap.net twitter : @zleap14 http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-sutton/36/595/911 Torbay Raspberry Pi Jam, 8th March 2014 - http://dcglug.drogon.net/torbay-pi-jam/ I am committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable groups and expect any school or establishment I am involved with to share this commitment. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
