No worries yet, Quarnero. I just haven’t got around to it yet. I will surely let you all know how it turns out.

firmware-b43-installer package is in contrib repository (I wasn’t aware of this, sorry) so please add contrib to your sources.list, beside bullseye main and non-free.
Now you should proceed with (while rest is looking like very good job of yours):
- get root by
sudo su - add to the
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb https://ftp.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free - execute
apt-get update - execute
apt-get install firmware-b43-installer - execute
isenkram-autoinstall-firmware -
exitto exit root. -
remove bullseye entry from
/etc/apt/sources.listor mark it to something like this:##deb https:// …, save/exit .
Let us know if anything else needed.

I see also this. There is no byzantium in Debian. The corresponding entry in sources list needs to be corrected to point to pureos site, or removed.

Hi guys,
Thanks for this awesome thread. I have the same issue with an old Macbook Pro and PureOS 10. My broadcom network controller is BCM43602 … (rev 01). I followed the steps as described until this point and I experience two issues.
First, regarding the sources.list:
I get the same error as Ralf, but I don’t have this source in my sources list:
E: The repository ‘http://deb.debian.org/debian byzantium Release’ does not have a Release file.
Nevertheless I was able to download and update the firmware installer
isenkram-cli is already the newest version (0.48)
firmware-b43-installer is already the newest version (1:019.7)
When I run isenkram-autoinstall-firmware It says
info: No new firmware package with requested firmware detected
Hence, when I open wifi settings it still says “no wifi adapter found”
Any ideas on how I can get my wifi adapter up and running?
Thanks,
D

Debian maintainers have another one ready for your particular Wi-Fi hardware (looks like it should help): https://wiki.debian.org/brcmfmac. Please proceed with here mentioned BCM43602 [non-free] link like this:
sudo su
apt-get purge firmware-b43-installer
apt clean
apt update
apt search firmware-brcm80211
apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
apt-get autoclean
exit −− please close other open programs as well
sudo reboot
After your PureOS comes back please remove bullseye entry from /etc/apt/sources.list, connect your Wi-Fi … and execute: sudo time apt update to see if everything works.
EDIT (to explain): Actually: firmware-b43-installer was in contrib repo from … (therefore added) and in your case: firmware-brcm80211 package lies available within non-free repo from same …, yet to be consistent with main role of isenkram-autoinstall-firmware command please execute it before and without: apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 as isenkram-autoinstall-firmware command should pull this (or any other firmware) package by itself, I think. I’m just trying to avoid any sort of unnecessary confusion, make clear on why isenkram-autoinstall-firmware command is important by itself.
Thank you @Quarnero. I followed the step but it still says
Info: no new firmware package with requested firmware detected
How could I check which firmware is being used?
Update:
I also installed the b43legacy-installer (from debian 9 stretch as mentioned here) but with the same result: no new firmware package detected.
Update 2: Wifi now works
-> I used the command you edited out, rebooted and now I have a wifi adapter & wifi connection.
Thanks for your help @Quarnero
