[SOLVED] Wifi and Ethernet
Acer Aspire 4920G
Pro Wireless 3946BG
Kernel driver iwl3945
Ethernet BMC5787M (tg3)
I have no Ethernet or Wifi connection. Network Manager says its connected both wired & wireless But no Internet connection.
I tried the non-free install of Debian Jessie but could not install the iwl3945 firmware.
Methods Attempted
1. wicd install but couldn't install because [FAIL] no Enternet
2. iwl3945 as guided in debian's offical website because [FAIL] no Internet
Is there any way to install iwl3945 without Internet or by changing network manager

During the Install it said iwl3945 can be install through a USB.
P.S I have also tried a plethora of distros also (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Manjaro 17 GNOME & XFCE, Elementry OS, Fedora & Debian) Using Remix OS (Android x86) the WiFi worked fine.

Re: HELP No Wifi or Ethernet
You need to download the package firmware-iwlwifi and install manually.
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/kern ... re-iwlwifi
The download link is at the bottom. Then install as root:
I don't think anything can be done about the ethernet.

That particular Broadcom ethernet card also requires non-free firmware. The package is "firmware-linux-nonfree" for Jessie.

My Ethernet is not found in that list. [BCM5787M] But although there are a few that share the tg3 kernel.
Should I install that ?
Is this code alright ?

There's only one way to find out. Install it. It can't hurt.

Re: [SOLVED Wifi] Ethernet Issue Continues
Now that you have a connection on wifi, you can just get packages from the Debian repositories.
First you should check that your list of the repos was set up correctly--you can look at the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor, or just with
Cut and paste the output here.
Instructions to add the non-free section of the repo and install that package can be found in the wiki here: https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo, since it also contains firmware for AMD graphics.
