driver wifi

[gix]

Hi, I am new to Debian.
I'm trying to use the wifi connection.

All I know are the following commands:
lspci | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 24fd (rev 78)

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
enp4s0 no wireless extensions.

but now I'm stuck:(
Thanks for helping

You will propably need firmware-iwlwifi (non-free) package: h-node.org: wifi cards: Intel Corporation Device (rev 78)

Thanks for reply
...and how can I find that drive?

I'm using a Asus Notebook almost 2 years old

You have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list (as root, or sudo), and add non-free, example:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib

I have also contrib enabled.

After editing sources.list, do (stiil as root, or sudo if configured)

Code: Select all

#apt update

OR

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

Then you can install firmware-iwlwifi, as any package, for example

Code: Select all

sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi

[gix]

Already tried, but I received the error firare-wireless not somthing

[gix]

deb command not found
as a root

Line

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib

is not a command, it's from file /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

apt edit-sources

As root.

Does the machine have a wired connection to the Net? If not, you can edit sources until your keyboard is worn out and it won't make any difference.

If you don't have a wired connection, can you tether a phone to it and get Net access that way?

[gix]

I have a wired connection. That works.
I did all you wrote above:
firmware-iwlwifi is already the newest version (20190114-1).

But still the result of iwconfig is as follow:
enp4s0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.

Try to re-instert module as root:

Code: Select all

modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

[gix]

After reboot it seems to work!!
Thanks a lot:)

iwconfig
