I do not remember: is it between Debian 7 and Debian 8 that firmware inclusion in distros in general and in Debian in particular changed? In the past some firmwares (non-free stuff) were installed with (or part of) the linux kernel package and that changed with the next Debian release. So there a possibility that Debian 8.10 works as it should and you have to install firmware(s) required by your hardware: https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware
