[Solved] broadcom-sta-dkms missing for Debian 12

[jfabernathy]

On bookworm rc-4 I could install using Ethernet and then install broadcom-sta-dkms to get my WiFi working on my Macbookpro,81

Tonight I tried the official Debian 12 ISO and installed the same way, but apt can't find the broadcom-sta-dkms package.

Do I need a special repository??

Im guessing you need to change the source file entry from non-free to non-free-firmware

I have the default and it says:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware

# bookworm-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware

I went back and added non-free immediately after non-free-firmware and it found it.
