Over here is this
02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
When I asked for the ID of the device I was aiming for
$ lspci | grep Wireless
02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
$ lspci -n -s 02:00.0
02:00.0 0280: 168c:0036 (rev 01)
The idea was that original poster did buy B43 hardware[2]
and found that no firmware was loaded.
A reason for not loading FW is that kernel driver has no information
that the firmware also has to be loaded for the particular ID.
Now there is
> 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
and no identification (ID) information.
Things we known
* lspci is seeing a BCM4322 network controller
Things we don't known yet
* The effect of https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-b43-installer
