Debian 10 not connecting to wifi with Broadcom Ethernet card
by RudraniMahadevi1971 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MF1G)
Hi,
I'm a newbie who's been trying out different flavours of Linux. I enjoyed most of them till I installed Debian-- then everything came to a screeching halt.
From the research I was able to do on my Android phone, it looks like Debian neglected to install a driver or 2 for my Ethernet card.
This is as much info as I can provide given my limited resources and my foggy short-term memory:
Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
Also:
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222]
I'm using a Dell Latitude D830, 32-bit, i86.
Please be gentle with me, as I have a headache from all the hoops I've had to jump through just to figure all this mess out.
Any solid suggestions would be gratefully welcome.
Rudrani
