Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
Can you describe exactly what is not working at this point?
Also try executing `iwlist scan` and see if it will scan or not.
Hi orythem
I activated the wlan1 using "ifconfig wlan1 up" and I then "iwlist wlan1 scan"
The ouptut reports "no scan results"...
I also used wpasupplicant to connect (edited the wpa_supplicant config file with my connection, "sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan1" and "-c/etc/ewpa_supplicant.conf -Dn180211" and "dhclient wlan1") but nothing...
(50 lines of log should be enough. If not, increase the number)

Are you using a graphical desktop environment?
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.
Yeah...after a long series of exchange we finally managed to get the firmware as well as nvram config in place. Right now I guess OP is experiencing further problems with the brcmfmac_sdio driver, which wouldn't be clear enough until OP provide more infomation.
Hi guys, excuse me for the late reply but I have been very busy with the university.
I think that now the most simple way to solve this Wi-Fi problem is to replace this Debian 8 with Debian 9 non-free because I also have other things that don't work at all on this tablet (battery indicator, screen brightness control, standby not working...)
But... does this non-free version of Debian install proprietary drivers by default? I hope it doesn't just include proprietary drivers and instead it installs free drivers by default...

Your wireless card does not use proprietary drivers. It uses open source driver 'brcm80211' together with non-free firmware, which could be supplied by the non-free image.
In the above posts we supplied the driver with firmware (.bin) and nvram config (.txt) and got it up and running, but there are other issues. So yes, moving to Debian 9 would be a good idea. Maybe the newer driver in newer kernel would help.
After installing the non-free version of Debian 9, you probably still would have to put the nvram config file (the .txt) in place in order for the driver to function.
