In the case of my TL-WN725N, the driver was proably just in that firmware-realtek Debian package suggested by Sven, because after its installation the device began to flash. Since then it was probably just a problem of configuration. > I don't know what hardware you have, but some older laptops came with > *optional* wireless, so that might explain it "not working". Do the FCC/CE > stickers give any clues? The fabricant specifications say that my old Hyundai laptop has an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, whose driver, according to https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi, should be in the firmware-ipw2x00 Debian package which I installed via aptitude but with no effect. Looking better at them, I notice now, next to the device name, the word `Options' put within brackets: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG (Options) , that recalls what you say about `optional' wireless in older laptops... So does that mean it's not present in my machine? Bye, Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
