Wifi doesn't work and PC doesn't have an ethernet port
Wifi doesn't work and PC doesn't have an ethernet port
Hi, I installed Debian 8 stable on my Tablet (dell venue 10)
I can't connect to the internet using the Wifi (and can't connecting a Lan cable...) I tryed using the terminal in different ways and I tryed to install a driver compatible with my hardware but I didn't have good results...
Windows reports these 2 wifi cards for the same tablet (strange)
"Broadcom 802.11 abgn Wireless sdio"
"Dell wireless 5810e Mobile Broadband"
Can anyone tell me the which drivers I need and how can I install them? (I don't care if the drivers are open or proprietary)

Re: Wifi doesn't work and PC doesn't have an ethernet port
Your wireless card Broadcom BCM43241 on SDIO is already supported by Linux 3.16, you probably need the following:Mich-C wrote:DRIVER=brcmfmac_sdio
SDIO_CLASS=00
SDIO_ID=02D0:4324
MODALIAS=sdio:c00v02D0d4324
(a) The binary firmware package `firmware-brcm80211`
(b) nvram config file `brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt`
You can confirm by `dmesg | grep brcmfmac` right after reboot. You might see "brcmfmac_sdio mmc01 firmware: failed to load ...... (-2)" if it's indeed lacking firmware.
The latter, the "txt" can be obtained in various ways. See:

So I copyed that 2 file files you linked in the right directory (a .bin and a .txt file) and I also installed the package `firmware-brcm80211` for Debian Jessie.
I rebooted, executed the command `dmesg | grep brcmfmac` and rebooted again, but when I open Wicd (wireless tool) I still have "No wireless network found"

You can capture the log in a similar manner. Open a terminal and run `journalctl -f` as root to observe the latest log as you try to connect.
Re: Wifi doesn't work and PC doesn't have an ethernet port
this is taking a long time. If the driver is in the non-free repo's you can try an alternative installation cd: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... -firmware/
