Installation
-
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list for your Debian version, for example:
# Debian 8 "Jessie" deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
-
Update the list of available packages. Install the relevant/latest linux-image, linux-headers and broadcom-sta-dkms packages:
# apt-get update # apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms
This will also install the recommended wireless-tools package. DKMS will build the wl module for your system.
