What does 'lspci -n' show? A lot of wifi cards require non-free firmware to operate, which is not included in the installer unless you use the unofficial non-free firmware installer image. I see QCA6174 mentioned in firmware-atheros in jessie-backports, but not jessie. That probably means you would need to install the kernel from jessie-backports and the firmware-atheros from jessie-backports, but then it ought to work. See: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/firmware-atheros I don't think there is any chance jessie updates will ever put in an update that would make it work, but Stretch (with the non-free firmware installed) should support it, as will jessie with a few of the backport packages by the looks of it. -- Len Sorensen
