=Step 6: Wifi= Some of the new laptops kept crashing our router last year but Bernie said that the problem might have been fixed, so we gave it a try. Since I needed to get non-free packages (most of the wireless cards are non-free?), I had to add non-free sources to /etc/apt/source.list: <code> :deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian unstable non-free :deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian unstable non-free </code> I can comment out these lines once I finish Bernie and I tried getting firmware-linux-nonfree but that didn't do the trick, so we did: <code> :apt-cache search intel wifi :apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi :rmmod iwlwifi :modprobe iwlwifi </code> My wifi didn't crash the router.
