Re: Airport wireless and current Debian
Hi,

What firmware version did you have before? Looks like the card has
8.70, and Debian loads 9.48. You could try to rename the file
agere_sta_fw.bin, forcing the card to use its own firmware. I have
seen situations where loading 9.48 gives me WPA but takes away WEP.
I don't know?
It used to work.
After the upgrade it started non working, I checked the messages and I
saw issues with firmware missing. Looked it up and on teh debian wiki,
installing firmware was the proposed solution.
Now I don't get warnings but it doesn't work.
wouldn't renaming the file be equivalent of removing the package and get
the issue with missing firmware again?
It sometimes happens that during a dist-upgrade a package gets lost!
Thus I don't know what I had before. In my archives I see this:
root@fuchur:/var/cache/apt/archives# ls * | grep firm
firmware-linux-free_3.3_all.deb
firmware-linux-free_3.4_all.deb
firmware-misc-nonfree_20160110-1_all.deb
