I have an old Del 630. It has allways worked out of the box with Debian. However after installing bookworm it was able to connect to the wifi, but not getting internet.
Determining it was a broadcom wifi adapter I followed this guide https://wiki.debian.org/wl
However doing this I somehow managed to complete turn wifi off. Now there is only ethernet in the networkmanager.
Can I turn the wifi on again?
Thanks

Re: [Networking] wifi disapeered
I have detected there is no driver installed. My wifi is bcm4311. It as far as I understand described here https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx. However it is described as working with Debian Stretch. Can I make it work with Debian bookworm?
Re: [Networking] wifi disapeered
I found this solution:
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo apt purge firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt reinstall firmware-b43-installer
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe b43
It makes it work.
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo apt purge firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt reinstall firmware-b43-installer
sudo modprobe -r b43
sudo modprobe b43
It makes it work.

I'm glad you sorted it out. :)
I updated the subject of the first post to add a reference to the involved hardware and moved the post to the "Hardware" sub-forum.
Happy Debian !
