Wireless connection setup - Sony Vaio, Debian Wheezy amd64
 

Can anyone give me the instructions of how I can connect my Sony Vaio to the wireless network that I have it setup at home? (my Samsung Galaxy phone saw it automatically but I guess in Linux is not that easy)

What have you done so far?
Have you installed non-free wireless firmware?
Have you edited your /etc/network/interfaces file?

I have no firmware for it (got laptop from a friend who had only windows installed on it)
I have not edited anything (I am a newbie)
Any instructions?

First you will need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then you need to install firmware for the wireless. This will get you started.

Post back if you need help figuring it out.

The easiest way to edit the sources.list file is to:
1) open a terminal
2) log into the root account
enter root password
Nano is a console-based test editor.

Thanks for your help. Wireless connection is working now. Wasn't that hard following the instructions
