Hi everyone!
I have been trying to revive some of my old hardware. Specifically a DELL Latitude D830 and my old USB wifi Adapter Netgear A6200. I have been unable to get the A6200 to be recognized as as wifi interface. The system recognizes it (lsusb). I have searched the internet and it seems this specific piece of hardware with the chipset Broadcom BCM 43526 does seem to be problematic. So ihave tried to go the NDISWRAPPER route to get it working, but i seem to not be able to find the right driver either.
Am i waisting my time, or is there a way to get the A6200 to work with Debian?
Let me know what other kind of system information i can provide to find a solution.

lsusb will list the hardware ID. From that we can discern the chip in the device. Seeing that the network interface isn't present it could well be missing driver for the chip. I know the A6210 is nicely supported in Linux. Boot an Ubuntu 19 LiveCD to see if you can get a network interface just to know that you're on the right track.
