Ok, so I got rid of the windows machine and found a card that fit the old
machine.  It needs the rtl_nic driver to work.  Fine I have that firmware
and the needed driver on a USB stick and on an iso disk for stretch.  The
USB is just the firmware for these type of cards.  I must be losing my mind
because I cannot remember how to get the driver to install off of the USB to
my existing weezy system.  Thank you for even reading this but I need help.
I did try apt-get install but it didn't find the file on the USB>
"rtl_nic" means little to me; it might resonate more with others. Why do
you need a driver for it?

Please give the *exact* names of the firmware and driver you have on the
USB stick and say where you got them from.


I got the firmware from debian downloads. I put a new nic card in my computer so I can connect to the internet. I need the rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw driver to get it to work. I have that driver on my usb stick. I need to install it from the usb stick to the computer with weezy on it. I don't remember if there is a way to do that. Does that help.
