Re: noapi acpi=off




Thank for your response,

I want to avoid using  "netinst with non-free firmware" because that would mean a reinstall again.

and I would have to install other software al over again.


So now I just want to

" to get this firmware package and install it  [ /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin firmware-misc-nonfree ] "

what are the instructions I need to follow to do that.

I need to get use to install debian install package system  anyway.


while waiting for your response

I was trying to follow these instructions and I am getting these errors

https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi#Simple_guide

Awesome.  Knowing the exact filename of the firmware that you need
makes it *super* easy to identify the package that you need.

https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=rt2870.bin&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any

tells us that you need the package named "firmware-misc-nonfree".

As the name implies, this package is in the non-free section of Debian,
which means it's not included in the official installer images.

It *is* included in the unofficial "netinst with non-free firmware"
images.  If you use one of those, your problems will all go away.

If you aren't using one of the unofficial installers, then you'll need
to get this firmware package and install it.  That can be done over
ethernet, temporary or otherwise, or by sneakernetting it on a USB
stick, etc.
