rfkill list only shows my bluetooth (whereas it usually also shows my wireless).
At first, I tried doing "modprobe wl" and it outputted:
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.0-3-amd64
so I tried reinstalling broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source
(from the Debian non-free sources listed below:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free)
now modprobe outputs:
Code: Select all
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='wl'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:979 command_do() Error running install command for wl
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Operation not permitted
and tried to do "dpkg -P broadcom-sta-common" and "dpkg -P broadcom-sta-source" then replaced my non-free sources with:
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
but I still get the same output.
Here are the versions of broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source that I have:

dpkg -l broadcom-sta-common && dpkg -l broadcom-sta-source
