Ok, so I got rid of the windows machine and found a card that fit the old
machine. It needs the rtl_nic driver to work. Fine I have that firmware
and the needed driver on a USB stick and on an iso disk for stretch. The
USB is just the firmware for these type of cards. I must be losing my mind
because I cannot remember how to get the driver to install off of the USB to
my existing weezy system. Thank you for even reading this but I need help.
I did try apt-get install but it didn't find the file on the USB>
"rtl_nic" means little to me; it might resonate more with others. Why do
you need a driver for it?
Please give the *exact* names of the firmware and driver you have on the
USB stick and say where you got them from.
I got the firmware from debian downloads. I put a new nic card in my
computer so I can connect to the internet. I need the
rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw driver to get it to work. I have that driver on
my usb stick. I need to install it from the usb stick to the computer
with weezy on it. I don't remember if there is a way to do that. Does
that help.
