I have installed Debian 12 on my Macbook Pro 2013 via an internet connection with the thunderbolt adapter. It did not automatically install the wifi driver -- at least in the preferences there is no Wifi item in the menu. I ran lspci -vnn | grep -i net to check what kind of wifi device I have. The output is: 03:00.0 Network controller : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) Subsystem: Apple Inc. BCM4360 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter [106b:0112] 3c:00.0 Ethernet controller : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM57762 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1682] Subsystem: Apple Inc. Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [106b:00f6] I have checked many sources that provide some instructions. However, nothing has worked so far. For example apt install broadcom-sta-dkms and sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer do not work both respond with unable to locate package. I am surprised because I thought that non-free software is automatically included in Debian 12. And also when I check /etc/apt/sources.list I get these lines; deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware So I am out of ideas. How do I get the wifi to work?
