My dear Illustrious Leaders and Senior Members of the debian-user Mailing List,
I would again return to my earlier post at: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00650.html That is, the First Mail of this thread with the present Subject. I desire a Debian approved list for perfectly compatible Wireless-Bluetooth Cards. Like the PCI list, with the heading: DeviceDatabase/PCI - Debian Wiki at https://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/PCI Why do I need to return to this thread? Because, unlike what Mr. Cater advised, in his post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00679.html the "firmware-b43-installer" isn't suitable for the card that my laptop has: "Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)" card, as the webpage https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43#contact for the "firmware-b43-installer" mentions. The relevant portions of the said webpage may please be perused. On the webpage the list with the following columns has the following entries for the said chipset: PCI-ID Supported? Chip ID Modes PHY version Alternative 14e4:4365 no BCM43142 b/g/n LCN40 (r3) wl That is, the said card of my laptop isn't supported by the "firmware-b43-installer". I have already posted a reply to Mr. Cater with the said information at: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00846.html I am still hoping, despite what Mr.Purgert suggests in his post: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00654.html, that I will be able to find a Debian-approved wireless networking card and that my HP laptop BIOS would allow it to be used instead of the native wireless card. If every effort fails, I will try to procure a Frame.work customisable laptop for my use. Best wishes, Rajib, Etc.
