    Less problems with all kind of drivers and 'To Prefer' also for older

    So a derivative of Ubuntu, i.e. a derivative of a derivative of
    Debian :-)

    I'm setting up an old laptop for a friend. It has a Broadcom BCM43228 wireless card. Instructions say to install kmod-wl, but it isn't at
    the places the web pages say I can find it. Where is it?

    I found many pages about how to get the BCM43228 wireless card to work

    b43-fwcutter

    combo-wifi-driver-pack
    firmware-b43-installer

    are not found.

    I have the recommended

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free-
    firmware


    You may have to add the non-free repository.as firmware-b43-installer
    is in contrrib and so probably depends on something in non-free

    in /etc/apt/sources.list

    I also tried adding

    deb�http://deb.debian.org/debian/�bookworm-backports main contrib non- free-firmware

    but that also didn't work.

    Which packages are the correct ones, and where are they?
