Priporatary Drivers
Where are the non-free drivers (stupid Intel wireless cards) repo? If it makes a difference (actualy with drivers I think it does) using x86_65.
And do you think I need to get the nonfree firmware too? |
You need the firmware-linux-nonfree first of anything else you may need.

You just add 'non-free' to whatever repo you are using.
For example, you change from- Quote:

You can do that with a text editior, or you can do it from synaptic (Settings-> Repositories). Listing the exact model intel wireless you want to get the drivers and firmware for would help a lot.... You probably want 'firmware-intelwimax' but that is just a guess. Quote:

I dont know what my modle is (Ubuntu autodetected it:))...
Otherwise I know it is acer and intel. |
Debian has probably detected it as well. Run 'lspci' and post the output.

Depending on what card you have, you will either need firmware-iwlwifi or firmware-ipw2x00. Both are on the non-free part of the repo.

I mean that when I went to the additional drivers it found it right away. Now do I have to blacklist the driver in Debian? (add 'blacklist acer something' to blacklist.d Where is blacklist.d? I forgot!)
Oh and is it save to install those two packages or will I have to find the one I need? |

Well to get Ubuntu to use the driver without an rfkill command I have to add "blacklist acer-wmi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
