Problem with Wifi driver on Debian Jessie
Hi, I am Konrad , I am a new user of this forum.
I am from Poland, so my English isn't good enough. So please be forgiving for me.
I read about Bits club or something like that, So I don't know, that I am allowed to write here.
But nevertheless I have faced with small problem with wifi driver on Acer 5560.
I am running Debian 8.1 Jessie.
Last time I had linux mint, and wrote "sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source" then "sudo modprobe wl".
And those two commands solved my problem.
But not here on debian jessie.
I tried the same here in debian, but that doesn't work. I have to mark that on debian there isn't any GUI unlike in previous mint.
Yesterday I downloaded broadcom-sta and wifi still doesn't work.
Maybe I am doing something wrong. Or I have to use ifconfig?
Please share your ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Conrad

NAME
WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles
SYNOPSIS
wifi-radar [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.
It will look for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf. You can change that in wifi-radar.
If the configuration file does not exist, it will create it, so you must always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use
sudo or pam).
Recent versions partially implement WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You need a running wpa_supplicant installation with a /etc/wpa_suppli-
cant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. Then by setting in your /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver =
ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when you connect using this profile.
But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk, proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar. Your wpa_supplicant configu-
ration file should be set and tested already. If you have different networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-
radar.
The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:
OPTIONS
-v, --version for printing the version.
FILES
/etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
See for more information.
BUGS
Probably lots!
Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.
