Hi,
I have Dell XPS 19 9343.
After kernel-update (to 4.9.0-3amd64) wifi doesn't work.
I've installed broadcom-sta-source 6.30.223.271-6 (see https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia ... 013%209343 and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De ... 3%29#Wi-Fi) and bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (see http://hgdev.co/installing-ubuntu-15-04 ... de-update/) but without success.
any help?
thanks

Re: Dell XPS13 wifi doesn't work after kernel update
Installing the -source package will do nothing to provide a driver unless you do some additional steps to build and install the package. You very probably really want the broadcom-sta-dkms package, which automatically rebuilds the driver for newer kernels, providing you also have the newer kernel's header package installed.

Re: Dell XPS13 wifi doesn't work after kernel update
Thank you! I answer orythem27 first, I prefer not to confuse doing contemporarly too much things. Then Il try with your suggestion... The broadcom-sta-dkms package was installed by me the first time (before the update of the kernel)stevepusser wrote:Installing the -source package will do nothing to provide a driver unless you do some additional steps to build and install the package.

Re: Dell XPS13 wifi doesn't work after kernel update
You are running Deban testing--and it's always going to be chaotic as a flood of held-back packages arrive after a a new stable release. In your case, there are no longer any 4.9 kernel headers available in testing, so the driver won't build. You can upgrade manually to the newer 4.11 kernel and headers to get around this problem--the kernel metapackage was known to have a problem in testing this last week, but if you're running testing, I hope you know how to work around that.
