No wifi on debian 12 fresh install (HP laptop 440 14" G10)
Hi
I recently purchased an HP ProBook 440 14" G10 laptop.
This configuration is certified by Ubuntu[1].
The specs, as advertised by HP, can be found here[2].
The installation (debian 12 'bookworm') went as expected (using DVD and wired
connection). However, after reboot, I discovered that wifi was not working.
Bluetooth, on the other hand, is working.
After three days of search on the internet[3]-[9] I am really at a loss.
I have been a long-time debian *user* -- but am not an expert.
I am aware of the possibility to download drivers and compile them from
source[10]-[12], but hesitate to do that without an expert guide.
System and device information, as gathered by wireless-info script[13], will
follow the references.
Please advise
Thanks in advance.
Itay
