Debian - Broadcom
To get firmware Broadcom Bluetooth and wifi card.
Try:
sudo apt install broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-dkms broadcom-sta-source
NOTE: Needs to be KERNEL 4.19+headers.
Then reboot.
Check wifi
iwconfig
returns:
lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
Check the existing PCI card
lspci -vnn | grep Network
returns:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b]
Then try
lspci -nn -d 14e4:
returns:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
NOTE: There are dozens of Broadcom wireless cards.
The key to finding the correct driver for any network card is what is known as the PCI ID (PCI.ID).
- The PCI.ID in this example is 14e4:4320.
- The revision is 03.
