Nice to seeing you here Matthew.

What is the result of the following command on your computer:

lspci |grep -i network


Best regards.


Hi all, Not sure if this should go to the users list but here is the question.

Hi all,

Just rejoined this list today.  I am wanting to nstall Debian testing or stable 
depending on what can be done about the following.  I have an hp note book 
which is only a couple of years old and I have since replaced windows 10 with 
ubuntu and now I am looking to install Debian, but here are couple of 
questions.  First, the first ime I tried to do the install, I used the nonfree 
firmware version as I figured that would have the drivers it might need, but 
during the detecting of hardware I was told that I would need a driver which I 
can't remember the modle name of rite now, but any how, with ubuntu and orca, 
is there a way to get the modle name of my wifi driver so that I can search for 
it.

Second, this has to do with the installer itself, I notesed when looking at the 
expert installer, you can select an opsion by typing in a number of the opsion 
you want, but when looking at manual for the install, it metions using the 
arrow keys to move through the choices.  Am I missing something?  Thanks.  Just 
thought I would point this out since I have always used the normal opsion for 
the install.  One other thing, is the gtk installer accessible with speech?  It 
has never been mentioned that I remember so thought I would ask about it.
