I installed Debian Wheezy 7.8 on a Lenovo G50-70 x64, it seems that I don't have the driver for my wireless card installed, the output of iwconfig:lo        no wireless extensions.eth0      no wireless extensions.Here's the output of lspci -nn:01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 10)02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:b723]As you can see my ethernet controller has the driver installed and it's working fine, but the Network Controller which is my wifi card is not installed.I tried looking in the device database of debian for the vendor and device id 10ec:b723 to find which module I need to install but I couldn't find it, although I found my ethernet controller and which module it requires, does this mean that this card is not supported ?While searching I found the firmware of RTL8723BE in the packge firmware-realtek for Jessie so I installed it from wheezy backports, but I don't know if this is the driver or not, and nothing has changed.I also found this repository on github rtlwifi_new and tried installing the driver from source, but I got these errors when I ran make:make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/build M=/home/peter/rtlwifi_new modulesmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'  CC [M]  /home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.o/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.c: In function rtl92cu_update_hal_rate_mask:/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.c:2094:25: error: struct ieee80211_sta has no member named bandwidth/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.c:2094:40: error: IEEE80211_STA_RX_BW_40 undeclared (first use in this function)/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.c:2094:40: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears inmake[5]: *** [/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu/hw.o] Error 1make[4]: *** [/home/peter/rtlwifi_new/rtl8192cu] Error 2make[3]: *** [_module_/home/peter/rtlwifi_new] Error 2make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2make[1]: *** [all] Error 2make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64'make: *** [all] Error 2So what should do in this case, where can I find the module I need for this card ? and If this Github repository is what I need, how can I fix these errors ? I already have build-essential and the linux headers installed.UpdateAfter searching for a while I found that the rtl8723be.ko module is available in the the kernel version 3.16 of the testing release Jessie, is it safe to update my kernel using the Wheezy backport ?
