Re: Debian install , need to add wireless firmware
Non-free firmware for wireless can be found here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/squeeze/current/
Take the firmware.tar.gz or firmware.zip package, and put it on
removable media such as a CD or usb-stick. Decompress it there, and
you'll find several non-free Debian packages for firmware. Then,
have this removable media in your destination computer when you install
Debian on it. The installer will scan your computer for networking
hardware, and then if non-free firmware is required, it will search your
removable drives for the appropriate packages, and then it will set
up your wireless hardware, and establish a connection to allow you to
complete the install.
