I'm having the same problem on 2 different computers when I install Debian 10. The problem is that the system is not detecting any wifi hardware. I have downloaded the correct firmware files (firmware-b43-installer and firmware-iwlwifi) and they are located in the /lib/firmware directory. When I run command 'ip link show' it does not detect any wifi hardware and only shows lo and enp9s0(ethernet) . When I use various network managers like connman and wicd they are not detecting any wifi hardware. I ran a dmesg command and it says it cannot load the firmware and indicates it is missing but everything appears to be installed correctly. Here is the terminal output for dmesg: 9.161602] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15) [ 9.207735] b43-phy0: Found PHY: Analog 6, Type 5 (LP), Revision 1 [ 9.207750] b43-phy0: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, ID 0x2062, Revision 2, Version 0 [ 9.224592] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNLS ] [ 9.227035] Adding 2685948k swap on /dev/sdb5.

I also tried installing the firmware-b43legacy-installer package to no avail. I have my repositories set to non-free. I have the same problem with my other computer when trying to use intel firmware in the iwlwifi packages.
