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 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

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?

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.
