Anyone know where I can find the drivers for Broadcom BCM43142 so I can actually do this damn Debian netinstall?
Tried Google, lots of dead links.

Just get a mac, anon, they support the most cutting edge industry standard software and don't pander to GAYMURRS XD like Microdong Wankblows
>>54628045
I'm actually converting over a Windows 10 notebook. It'll be a breeze once I find this driver but God help me until I do.
>>54627981
I have the same chip. With arch setting up WiFi is a one liner command thanks to the God tier wiki and the AUR
>>54628186
Does that one line command pull from the internet? Because that's what I can't get working in the first place.
>>54628219
Android tethering
>>54628045
This. A toejam eating, bird fucking hippie, who calls himself a Doctor from having honorary degrees is cock blocking you from having wifi drivers.
How stupid does this sound?
welcome to Opensores.
>>54628283
It's pretty shit. Someone on an IRC channel directed me to ISOs with non-free device support though, so maybe those will work
Just give up. If you have a broadcom wifi chip then you should just give up.
>>54628388
Never!
Unless this new installer doesn't work. Then yeah probably.
>>54628388
Wew lad
Are you making a router with AP functionality? then there's no real reason to waste time doing this on debian. Go for ubuntu/mint/fedora which will have this functionality out of the box. These distros respect your time.
Listen to >>54628283
as you are essentially living in 2003-2004 if you don't
>>54628423
I like Debian. It respects my freedom to have never used any other distro for a meaningful amount of time. 2004 was also a great year you cretin.
>>54627981
>Broadcom BCM43142
https://wiki.debian.org/wl
Did you look at this page? I know you can load drivers through a usb during a netinstall. so this should work, you should know the rest.
>>54627981
Here you go OP
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=broadcom-sta-dkms
>>54628459
This anon beat me to suggesting this by a fraction.
>>54627981
Dunno about debian but I think you gotta enable non free repo in the sources list. Your fault fir choosing a half assed freetard wannabe distro maintained by people with suicidal tendency. At least you didn't fall for cuccdora meme
Install ubuntu, the superior debian or go Arch.
>>54628459
>>54628479
I tried that first. No dice. Oh well, time to branch out.
Just to piss off Mr Router I'm going to try installing elementary instead now.
>>54628495
Wannabe distro for a wannabe man. It seemed fitting. FINE I'll go memeOS.
>>54627981
>feel for debianfags bait
OP you need the UnOfficial non-free netinstall isos.
heres the AMD64 version.
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/8.4.0/amd64/iso-cd/
>>54628528
That's where I went on the advice of the IRC channel. Got the ISO, wrote the image to USB, ran the installer and pooped out again at the network device step.
>>54627981
>netinstall over wifi
No Ethernet port?
>>54628565
Nope. This is basically a Fisher Price netbook.
>>54628565
haha. Holy shit. Debian can't get on wifi after an installer? My macbook's EFI "bios" can get on wifi. haha.
>>54628591
During. During the installer. I made this thread because I can't even make it to "after."
>>54627981
did you already aded the non-free repos?
did you already did:# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install module-assistant wireless-tools broadcom-sta-common
# m-a a-i broadcom-sta
# echo blacklist brcm80211 >> /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf
# update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)
# modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcm80211
# modprobe wl
?
>>54628644
holy shit. what OS purgatory is this?
m-a a-i broadcom-sta
sounds like a homeless man with tourrettes.
>>54628677
I was going to say Romanian.
I guess we agree on the homeless part then.
>>54628591
this is not a matter on the quality of the software but if a certain piece of software can be distributed with another piece of software, there's distros that don't mind packaging non free drivers but op chooses a distro who does, the thing is knowing how to install that non-free driver.
>>54628677
What do you expect from an half freetard distro
>>54628512
>Just to piss off Mr Router I'm going to try installing elementary instead now.
If the firmware isn't available, switching distributions wont help. There is a reason people hate Broadcom even before Raspberry Pi.
>>54628719
Oh there's a bunch of Ubuntu support threads for this chip, to the point where one of the Debian posts was "hey someone tweaked an Ubuntu driver it's probably a bad idea but try it." I'll probably be able to sort it out.
>>54628677
heh, m-a is module-assistant a-i i think is auto install
https://wiki.debian.org/ModuleAssistant
>>54628719
>>54628738
Confirmed: the installer natively got the WiFi adapter working.
We eOS soon boys.
>>54628591
Try installing OSX on his netbook and see how it goes
>>54628818
Can't. (Just checked tonymac.)
>>54628818
>buying your Unix without hardware
Fools game.
>>54628045
literally the first reply is a macfag shill
so you guys get paid by speed or something?
Just use a distro that is not old as shit. Arch, Antergos, Ubuntu. I never understood why people use Debian and expect things working with no problems. I never had problems with Antergos, for example, because I receive updates and I am not years behind.
>>54627981
this is a classic issue.
You should give up on Dedian for that particular PC. Get Obanto or Fedora, it will work inmediately with no bullshit.
Prefer Obanto GNOME or MATE.
>>54630135
We do it for free.
It's an awwwwoooovement.
