hardware is a nuked MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz, model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13"

I tried to install debian 12.5 from a live usb on this computer. On the network page of debian's installation GUI I get this message:

No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list.

so I logged in to recovery mode and executed

sudo lspci -vnnk -s 03:00.0

that returns

network controller [0200]: broadcom inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac wireless network manager adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

there is more information that I wanted to save to a lspci.txt file on the live usb (sdc1) to share with you, but I failed the syntax.

Why I want to do this: installing debian, on the GUI's networking page there is a candidate with this exact specification (broadcom 802.11ac wireless network manager), but I cannot install it because I don't have wifi or an ethernet cable, so I'd have to download this package from this computer I'm using now and copy it to the live usb to install alongside debian 12.5. I just wanted to print the whole command just in case it's helpful.

ETA: how do I install rpm fusion repos on debian? I only found instructions for fedora and rhel https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

thanks

Did you type: lspci > /sdc1 lspci.txt exactly like this? because that would pipe the output into /sdc1. You probably want to pipe it into /your/mount/point/lspci.txt (something like that).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
