If it is, the wifi should just work.
Is it just your system or is the problem reproducible?
It might help if you can tell us exactly what the error messages are.

thanks, but how to install this? Sorry, really dont get it.
There are no error messages realy, the wifi just stopps as soon as i move the computer, even a bit. Not out of reach, just any movement. And sometimes just without reason. Then the wifi is off and cant be put on again.
Thanks

Re: No Wifi
Try paste.debian.net I think it has a clicky interface. Or if you look in a log file and see something interesting, just use the mouse and copy/paste just the good part instead of the whole file.
Why don't you just ID the device and look it up on the net?
Sometimes there's a button or key combo that turns wifi off, and they usually are either hard to find, or right in the wrong spot where you can hit it accidentally.

Re: No Wifi
Perhaps check if the wireless card is seated properly in the socket? It may have worked loose somehow.asd345 wrote:the wifi just stopps as soon as i move the computer, even a bit. Not out of reach, just any movement. And sometimes just without reason.

Sorry, completely do not understand. I dont know where the log file is or how to post it. And what is "ID the device"?
Sorry, total newbie.

Re: No Wifi
Based on your other answers, did you actually take the back off of the machine and verify that the little wi-fi mini PCI card was firmly seated and the antenna leads firmly attached...truly and for sure? Maybe the hotkey combo to turn off the wi-fi is somehow on a hair trigger, too?
If you have another operating system installed, such as Windows, installed, does the same problem occur when you nudge the machine? How about about in a Debian (or other Linux) Live session from a USB stick?

Re: No Wifi
Tanks, yes, I opened it and check and cleaned all. And yes, it occurs on linux from a stick as well.stevepusser wrote:Based on your other answers, did you actually take the back off of the machine and verify that the little wi-fi mini PCI card was firmly seated and the antenna leads firmly attached...truly and for sure?

Re: No Wifi
There are some good threads on the forum that can help. Use the search function. It should not be a 5-day experience, but sometimes there are difficult devices. It's a steep learning curve, but it's possible for a total beginner to understand. Start with the wiki.
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
Look for the HowToIdentifyADevice... links and once you ID the device you know how to narrow your search from " no wifi" to "no wifi on specific device"

Re: No Wifi
Thanks for all the answers, but something gerneral: I cant program. And, lets be honest, I wont lern it in this life. This includes 99% of all "terminal"-things. So if you can help me, please keep it simple and tell me what to write where.Thanks.
Re: No Wifi
Using terminal is the best way, because it is the one consistent interface on all distributions and desktop configurations.
If you're just totally against terminal, and refuse to learn, it will really limit your options. Most help you will find on the internet will require using terminal to solve problems on gnu/linux. At the very least, you will need it to gather info so others can help you.
Maybe some support from a local user group or another linux user in person would be better?

Re: No Wifi
Based on your answers, I have to sincerely doubt that Debian is the best choice for you to start learning Linux.
Some other Debian derivatives offer GUI front-ends to hardware information tools, and there are even some in the Debian repos, but you seem to be unwilling to learn even the basics--like learning to drive a car, but looking at the speedometer and staying under the limit is "too technical with all those numbers".

^ This will show the logs in reverse order so run that command just after you experience the problem then copy&paste any error messages into a search engine.
You may have to run the command as root unless your normal user is a member of the systemd-journal group.
