It looks to me like the brcmfmac_sdio kernel module is expecting this .txt file is supposed to be shipped alongside the .bin, but it isn't present. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

I don't know > where you're supposed to get it from. hm, https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/X205TA#WiFi suggests: cp /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt and indeed, after doing that, and then removing and re-loading the kernel module with: modprobe -v -r brcmfmac modprobe -v brcmfmac then the device is found correctly. --dkg
