00_README.wireless_packages (14073B)
1 This directory contains firmware packages for wireless network adapters. 2 The directions below tell you how to find the right package and install 3 it. 4 5 If you don't know which driver to use, there are a couple of ways to 6 figure it out. 7 8 1. Run 'lspci' to see what Network controller is listed, then search for it 9 in the package descriptions. For example, if lspci shows: 10 11 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter 12 13 Then look in the firmware descriptions below to find one that matches 14 the name of your wireless adapter, in this case, firmware-realtek. 15 16 17 2. If you have another linux installed on that computer, and wireless is 18 working in that installation, boot into it and run: 19 20 dpkg --get-selections | grep firmware 21 22 and you will see all packages with "firmware" in the name. One of them 23 will be for the wireless controller. 24 25 26 In either case, once you know which package you need, install it with: 27 28 dpkg -i <filename.deb> 29 or 30 gdebi <filename.deb> 31 or 32 Navigate to this directory in the file-manager and click on the 33 package you want (or right-click and open it with gdebi.) 34 35 36 37 WIRELESS FIRMWARE DESCRIPTIONS 38 39 Package: b43-fwcutter 40
