Dear Rajib,
I can't help you because I don't have such a card / chipset.
Please ensure that your /etc/apt/sources.list includes entries
for main contrib and non-free
See, for example, the version for Debian Bullseye (oldstable) in this
link: https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
Then do an apt update ; apt upgrade to bring yourself up to date.
Install the package firmware-b43-installer and follow the prompts.
I'm fairly sure that's all it takes. You may need to uninstall wl
and / or any other changes you've made.
As the author of the FAQ posting made here every month;
Please do not post political / nationalistic / controversial
points here - Debian is worldwide and Bharat nationalism may be
misplaced as not everyone will appreciate what you are writing.
With every good wish, as ever,
Andy Cater
