Wifi Drivers still not recognized by Debian, even when using Netinst
Hi, I was having trouble contacting the mailing list on my other thread, so I just started a new one. I have attempted to use both the live-iso and netinst iso with bundled non-free drivers, but Debian still can't detect/load my wifi. To rehash, 1. I use an Acer Aspire S laptop. 2. The error looks like this: https://puu.sh/uQsLL/2661cdaa7c.jpg 3. My lspci output looks like this: https://puu.sh/uQsUJ/ff0045aa59.jpg 4. Here's dmesg grepped for "driver" and "ath": https://puu.sh/uQt0l/a321614cd6.jpg I don't know what to do. Other operating systems manage to find and use my wifi, but Debian is different, even using its proprietary-firmware-bundled ISO.

Does that mean the wifi on this computer isn't supported?

I don't have debian installed on my computer yet, nor can I access the internet with it (because my wifi is down) so i don't understand how I would install the non-free package?

Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Arch Linux recognize my Acer Aspire S wifi, debian does not
I have installed three operating systems on this computer: Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux. None of them had any problems detecting and using my "Network Manager: Qualcomm Atheros 003e", and it shows up on lspci, but when the Debian graphic installer attempts to do this, it fails and tells me "No Ethernet Card" detected. I've attempted to use the ISO you've provided for me with propryetary firmware bundled into it here: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.7.1/amd64/iso-cd/, but that couldn't find it either. It's unusual because I see (or at least I think I see) my drivers listed, and when i select them manually What's going on? How do I get this to work? Obviously there are linux drivers out there for Debian to use with my machine, they're just not in Debian's isos for some reason. Thank you for your time. I love your work.
