Before that, do:<br /># apt-get update, to update the list of available packages.<br />The command was:<br /># apt-get install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree<br />"#" of course means you should be root.<br />You can use the following command to identify hardware:<br />$ lspci<br />This tells me I have Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945, and Googling for that + Debian + firmware I find that I need firmware-iwlwifi.<br />The command to install that would be:<br />#apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi<br />If this is not clear, let me know and I can do a blog post with screen shots to help you.<br />FreewheelinFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747785651547255621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-85135614407196496942014-10-24T07:25:40.099-07:002014-10-24T07:25:40.099-07:00Thanks for reply, i installed Debian 7.6 using USB...Thanks for reply, i installed Debian 7.6 using USB drive, downloaded gnome.x.x.x.iso image & put it in usb, during installation it asked for non free firmware, at that time i skip that step... now i using debian since last 10 days & love it... i removed windows from laptop completely... i have already used debian source list generator for adding repositories in /etc/apt/source.list....i am also using ubuntu but it never asked non-free firmware during installation... my question is again same how to install necessary firmware using terminal commands... if possible plz write step by step for more clarity... thanks in advance again Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-61390899826553601772014-10-22T13:47:36.484-07:002014-10-22T13:47:36.484-07:00If you are new to Linux and want to try Debian, yo...If you are new to Linux and want to try Debian, you could always try the unofficial non-free CDs including firmware packages at:<br />http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/<br />If you want to try the standard installer, make a note of any firmware notifications during installation, or after installation during boot.<br />Make sure you have non-free sources enabled.<br />Here is an easy way to do it:<br />http://dontsurfinthenude.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/debian-sources-list-generator.html<br />Then install the firmware packages you need.<br /># apt-get install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree<br />for example.<br />Google any firmware for extra instructions.FreewheelinFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747785651547255621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-58519678169652721282014-10-21T08:04:49.569-07:002014-10-21T08:04:49.569-07:00i am new to linux, Does anyone help me for point n...i am new to linux, Does anyone help me for point no 1: Install necessary firmware, how to do this, just explain by terminal commands..thanks in advance Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-46581007923238573612014-08-31T20:02:31.155-07:002014-08-31T20:02:31.155-07:0010 things to do for loosers10 things to do for loosersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7137523581008208380.post-6584273581497093592014-03-15T03:09:35.317-07:002014-03-15T03:09:35.317-07:00Thanks for that.
