Hi Dave, I have the following and it works with the broadcom-sta-dkms package:
[ 12.186138] wlan0: Broadcom BCM43a0 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.271 (r587334) [ 12.344832] wl 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 This is a newer MacBook Air (2014 or 2015) and it works with both Jessie and Stretch. I use a sitecom USB wired lan adapter to do the full installation and then install broadcom-sta-dkms to get the Wireless working, this is a lot easier compared to CentOS or RHEL (I tried them once it it took a lot more mwork to get it woring under those distro's). I hope this helps Patrick Kox Dave Horsfall schreef op ma 15-05-2017 om 17:40 [+1000]: > Having upgraded my broadband connection so that 5G is now supported, > how > do I get Debian 8 to support it?
