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?

Re: Proper install of driver
Determine what architecture you have, i386 or AMD64. Download appropriate .deb files for packages:
Once you got them, install them with command:
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.
Code: Select all
b43-fwcutter
firmware-b43-installer
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i firmware-b43-installer_019-2_all.deb b43-fwcutter_019-2_amd64.deb
