  • Thanks, I installed the debian equivalent of that module but it still doesn't work, is there any way I can dive deeper into the problem to check what the wl module I downloaded supports or how I associate it with my device? Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 17:10
  • What does lsmod | grep wl return? Also dmesg | grep net? Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 17:12
  • Edited to add the lsmod output, the dmesg grep prints nothing Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 21:01
  • From your lsmod output the driver is loading, but driver wl is being used by 0 items. What's the output of dmesg | grep wl and dmesg | grep cfg80211 and dmesg | grep addr? Also, have you tried depmod -a` and a reboot? Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 21:12
  • sorry my dmesg was full of useless UFW output, I restarted and have edited my answer with the output of the previous and all of the above dmesg outputs. Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 21:21
