Which Network Controller Card handling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., connectivities, is GNU/Linux Approved/certified, and would be (1) compatible with my HP laptop's motherboard, and (2) could replace the "Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)"
My dear illustrious Group Leaders and Senior Members, Debian-User
group, debian-user@lists.debian.org
May please my present query be raed in the light of the post:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/10/msg00649.html
I need links to cards approved to be the best compatible with the
Debian Universe. I will replace my native card with that card,
provided its availability in Bharat.
A thorough advice and inputs on the issue would be welcome.
I have reached the post at https://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/PCI
Best wishes,
Rajib
