I use bookworm as my OS and i have this network controller
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
As of now, "dmesg" gives the following error.
[ 60.592279] brcmsmac bcma0:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw (-2)
[ 60.593680] firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
[ 60.594859] brcmsmac bcma0:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw (-2)

[ 60.600409] brcmsmac bcma0:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw failed with error -2
The missing firmware is found in the package "firmware-brcm80211", but this package is missing in bookworm. How to get this Network controller working with bookworm?

Re: [Software] Missing Broadcom Firmware on Bookworm
Hello,
Probably your apt configuration does not include the new "non-free-firmware" Debian's repository section (recently introduced in Debian Bookworm) to update all the required firmware; you can do it adding the "non-free-firmware" section to /etc/apt/sources.list , for example:
then you can issue the following commands (as root user):
Then you should find the package.
