Fuck off

This website is not your fucking personal tech blog. Either go post your question in fglt for an easy fix or fuck off back to LiveJournal.

This is the soluition.
I am going to assume op has an intel chipset for his wireless. Happens on my x200s.
Hell, just reboot.

Found your problem

maybe you need the non free software cd. It can be found here

Please do not discourage fucktards from rage-quitting Debian. Debian does not want or need fucktards. Thank you. This has been a public service announcement,

Sounds more like he knew what he was doing but it just didn't work.
OP switch to Gentoo its way easier to use than Debian.
>>57055985
Debian insists on its own special kind of half-baked freetard solution; so it doesn't install nonfree (e.g., iwlwifi which is needed in order to make make intel based network hardware work) without being explicitly told so.
It simultaneously tells people that it is easy to use.
Go figure.
A normal person would have wired up and used apt and the non-free repository to install the drivers instead of doing something autistic like putting them on a USB when your computer has a rj45 port.

... or just use the ISO that includes non-free firmware
>>57061679
... or just don't buy hardware that requires non-free firmware in the first place.
Why do you buy hardware that requires non-free firmware when alternative options, that don't require non-free firmware, exist?

>having to autistically search every piece of hardware to see if they require blobs to work properly.
Yet, most linux fans claim Linux supports any kind of hardware...
