Proper install of driver

[Rufusthedog]

Hello,

I installed the Debian edition on a USB thumb drive but it is not recognizing my wifi. Since it doesn't even appear on the list of networks (I only get the wired option) I assume that this is a driver problem. So I ran inix -nz and it says that I have a Broadcom BCM 4322. My issue is that I cannot simply run apt-get because I have no wired LAN connection--I'm wifi only.

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/firm ... -installer

Is the correct firmware update. (I'm assuming jessie and not wheezy).

Can some walk we through the steps I need to do? For example, are all the dependencies already on Mint or do those have to be downloaded too?

Determine what architecture you have, i386 or AMD64. Download appropriate .deb files for packages:

Code: Select all

b43-fwcutter
firmware-b43-installer

Once you got them, install them with command:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i firmware-b43-installer_019-2_all.deb b43-fwcutter_019-2_amd64.deb

Make sure you put correct filename for b43-fwcutter in the line above, it will be different if you have i386 architecture.
If you encounter any problems, please paste your terminal output here or upload a photo.
