I have an old laptop with Debian Xfce 7.2 with a wireless-n pcmcia card. NetworkManager and Wicd have the same issues with Wi-Fi, especially with authentication.The card works perfect on Ubuntu distros (though Ubuntu distros are too slow on this old laptop).I saw a post on Google+ where a guy copied a /lib/firmware from Arch Linux to his Debian machine and his Wi-Fi problems stopped. I tried the same thing except from Xubuntu to Debian, but it didn't work.Any way to make this work?
How do I get Wicd to use other drivers in Debian 7.2 Xfce?
