How to manually install WiFi firmware on Debian Live?
Hello.
I tried to make a "Realtek RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0
Network Adapter" work on Debian 10 Live with LXDE, but I couldn't.
Here is what I already have tried:
1-. Downloaded package firmware-realtek from package.debian.org.
2-. Booted Debian Live.
3-. Copied package from hard disk to the desktop (apt complains when
I load it directly).
4-. Executed: sudo apt install firmware-realtek
5-. Executed: sudo depmod -a
6-. Executed: sudo modprobe r8712u
Then, Wicd didn't show anything. I ran udevadm, I don't remember how,
to see if the USB WiFi adapter was detected; it was and also
the module r8712u was loaded for it.
I need some help here, please. I don't want to use a non-free firmware
live image. Thanks.
