Re: noapi acpi=off



That was kinda easy. ...BUT

I found that .deb file at https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/firmware-misc-nonfree/download

I had the wifi pane up immediately with a list of networks.

I even rebooted. BUT

it says configuring interface but won't connect.

I am also having to connect using a usb 802.11n dongle to get the wifi  with a list of wifi windows.

If I remove the  dongle the wifi  list disappears.

I bought the dongle to use for ubuntu 18-19 but don't need it for fedora 31.


could it be do with that error the bottom of of the error messages.

I had to install nividia package for windows 10 as well.

So now I just want to

" to get this firmware package and install it  [ /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin
firmware-misc-nonfree
<https://packages.debian.org/buster/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.
Download the package.  It will be a file whose name ends with ".deb".

Get this file onto the Debian computer, by any means.  Ethernet,
sneakernet, magical osmosis, typing the bytes out by hand, whatever it
takes.

Install the package using "dpkg -i filename", as root.

Reboot.
