Not a very productive use of two hours then? :roll:

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi

Link there to how to identify your device:

https://wiki.debian.org/HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI

In a terminal do:

Code: Select all

$ lspci -nn | grep Network
Once you have identified, refer to the appropriate help page in the first link.

More likely the driver is already loaded and you just need some firmware.

Post the output here.

Or perhaps install Isenkram to autoinstall missing firmware:

Code: Select all

# apt install isenkram
Autoinstall necessary firmware

Code: Select all

# isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
