minus-squareChurbleyimyam@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI got an Atheros card, which is fine for WiFi on Debian 12 and was cheap to buy. Drivers were in the Debian foss repo. Bluetooth is not working on it though. Interestingly, the Bluetooth did work under PureOS but I never figured out why.
