I decided to try and reabilitate an old Dell Studio Hybrid D140g with a 480GB SSD and Debian.

I installed it from a flash drive containing the “debian-live-12.9.0-amd64-xfce” ISO image.

But even after installing it with internet connection (through an ethernet cable) it doesn’t work with my home WiFi, it doesn’t seem to detect the wireless network hardware.

I’m sad because, apart from that, it seems to be working great with the new SSD and OS. But it won’t help me if it can only use a wired network.

What can I do in order to the WiFi work? Thanks in advance.
