debian wheezy does not support Atheros AR956x Wireless card



Hello all,

since many days I am dealing with installing debian wheezy on Acer Aspire E1-532.
First I tried the Net installer, sadly the Atheros AR956x wireless card was not detected :(.
I guess a driver is needed and found compat-wireless-3.6.6-1-snpc.tar.bz2 which seems to include a proper driver for the wireless card.
Then I installed wheezy with debian-7.6.0-i386-DVD-1.iso. Later I realized I could not nistall the driver, since there is no connect to internet.
I could also not use "make", since only base system was installed and it is impossible to install build-essential pakage due to the dependences of pakages :(.

Does any body have experinces on it and any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day!

Fanghua Ye
