[SOLVED] Realtek - missing firmware in Bullseye

#1 Post by majpooper »

I am pretty sure I have covered all the bases but can't seem to get my wi-fi up and running in Bullseye although it ran with no issues in Buster.

Code: Select all

System:    Kernel: 5.10.0-9-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 
           Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) 
           
           Network:   Device-1: Ralink RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe driver: rt2800pci v: 2.3.0 port: e000 bus ID: 06:00.0 
           IF: wlp6s0 state: down mac: <filter> 
           Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: r8169 v: kernel 
           port: d000 bus ID: 07:00.0 
           IF: enp7s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter> 

1. My sources.list are all contrib nonfree
2. I did successfully install the realtec driver for RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
3. just to make sure I reinstalled initramfs-tools ( firmware for Realtek Ethernet, wifi and Bluetooth adapters supported by various drivers)
4. did sudo apt install -y firmware-realtek

Code: Select all

majpooper@1150z:~$ sudo apt install -y firmware-realtek

firmware-realtek is already the newest version (20210315-3).

I do get this output for dmesg which I don't understand what rt2860.bin is

Code: Select all

rt2860.bin is in firmware-misc-nonfree. Have you got it?
