After typing the following command:
I have determined that my WiFi card is the Broadcom BCM4352.
output of above command:
I have copied the following files onto a folder on my desktop directory using a flash drive.
< this command produced no errors.
output of above command:
< this command gave no errors and produced no output.
< this command produced an error.
output of above command:
If there is someone who could provide me with guidance or instruction to resolve this error it would be greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all
lspci -nn -d 14e4:
output of above command:
A query at the Debian package repo for Broadcom lead me to believe that I required some packages.02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsuduarues BCM4352 8 02.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03)
