I found many pages about how to get the BCM43228 wireless card to work

in Bookworm, but the recommended packages

b43-fwcutter

broadcom-wl

broadcom-sta

combo-wifi-driver-pack

firmware-b43-installer

are not found.

I have the recommended

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free-

firmware

You may have to add the non-free repository.as firmware-b43-installer

is in contrrib and so probably depends on something in non-free

By adding that, I was able to get b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer. I couldn't get the others but wireless started working so I guess I don't need them.

in /etc/apt/sources.list

I also tried adding

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-

free-firmware

but that also didn't work.

Which packages are the correct ones, and where are they?
