^ You should know to use [ code ] tags by now!

You have posted in Help & Support (Other). If you haven't got a stock BL system, then you need to tell us what it is

Information to provide in case of wireless problems

Is there a physical switch or function key combo for your wireless card. rfkill reports that the hardware is switched off.

For future information, if asked for terminal output, then you can make it easier for non-Italian speakers to read by using 'LC_ALL=C'. For example:

LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get install rfkill

Also, PLEASE USE [ CODE ] TAGS FOR TERMINAL OUTPUT!!!

Si prega di utilizzare i tag [ code ] per l'uscita

We have a language barrier here, apparently.

@fvirgola80, tag codice.

Non...

Anyone who speaks Italian, please explain the code link at the top. Thanks!

@HoaS, this is more your specialty. Any insight? He has the backported kernel, and I don't see either firmware-linux or firmware-linux-nonfree from backports as helping.

I apologize for not following the forum rules
pointing you to the facts passages:

Broadwell and beyond in BunsenLabs

I launched the command (lspci -nn)
come the results

fvirgola80@fringe:~$ lspci -nn

everything seems ok but the wifi card does not work

sudo apt-get install --target-release=jessie-backports firmware-iwlwifi

tells me that the firmware version is already one-iwlwifi latest, the wireless network card is Qualcom Atheros QCA9377.
Thanks for your help

Bingo, guys I resolved I first installed the package from this address
Package: firmware-atheros (20161130-2) [non-free]
after restarting pointed out to me that the wifi was off button was actually turned on by the BIOS, surfing the internet I found this solution
Wifi is hardware disabled

thank you so much for your time

damo · 2017-03-16 17:15:49

I think you need the atheros firmware

sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports firmware-atheros

EDIT: ^ I see you found it

I will mark your post as [SOLVED]. You can do it yourself by editing the title of your first post

(Io segnerò tuo post come [SOLVED]. È possibile farlo da soli modificando il titolo del tuo primo post)?

The exact same package is available from jessie-backports:

https://packages.debian.org/it/jessie-b … re-atheros

Although firmware packages from sid are "safe" to install in jessie, this may not be true for other packages and sid sources should never be added to BunsenLabs.

Thanks so much for everything, the next time I post [SOLVED]
@DAMO thanks
@Head_on_a_Stick thanks
