![]() ![]() Under GNOME or KDE, one can use a graphical application, as described at How to Identify PCI. Different cards require different configuration. The first step is to identify your network card " AirPort" and "AirPort Extreme" are Apple product names for varying hardware, with "AirPort Extreme" meaning "IEEE 802.11g" (and for more recent cards, /n (802.11n)). If you do not have access to a wired connection, you can boot into Mac OS X (if you are dual-booting) and download required packages, or else obtain them from a separate computer with working wireless connection, but this may require re-booting into another OS and then back into Debian as well as using dpkg manually to install packages instead of aptitude/apt-get. It is significantly easier to setup wireless with a working (wired) network connection, for installing packages and finding documentation. If iwconfig runs and does not show a WiFi card, and you do have a WiFi card (as all Intel MacBooks do), then you have a hardware configuration problem, and this is the page for you!Īfter you’ve fixed your hardware configuration, you can setup your connection as in How to use WiFi. Return here if you have reason to believe that you do, in fact, have hardware problems.If iwconfig runs and shows a WiFi card, your hardware configuration is probably ok, and you should try to connect to your desired network using NetworkManager, iwconfig, or other tools, as discussed in How to use WiFi. If iwconfig doesn’t run, please install wireless-tools and then try again (or use the full path, /sbin/iwconfig). ![]() If you’ve installed Debian with the Laptop or Gnome-Desktop installation, you have the basic necessary tools otherwise install wireless-tools for wireless, and optionally NetworkManager for a user interface (so you can select a network), or use an alternative, as discussed at WiFi. ![]()
