A search for the first file suggest you need package

Code: Select all

firmware-realtek
https://packages.debian.org/search?sear ... e&arch=any

But it's only a warning so may not be necessary to function.

Im getting this :
Package firmware-realtek is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'firmware-realtek' has no installation candidate

sources list it think is fine

You need to edit your sources list thus:

Code: Select all

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
So it contains contrib non-free and non-free-firmware.

You can edit your sources line with the Command

Code: Select all

sudo apt edit-sources
