I decided to install Debian on my Macbook Air (13 inch, Mid 2013) a few days ago, and I obtained myself a fresh .iso image from debian.org. But when I was installing it, the installer gave me an error, saying that "no ethernet card is detected". I googled it and downloaded the broadcom-sta-dkms driver package and attempted to add it to the installer, but it gave me another error, saying "no kernel modules were loaded". I tried to solve it but it didn't work.
The following is from the system report of wifi in my Mac:
