Sorry hijack but did you installed debian 9 mate (new install), does
wireless work properly ?

Yes, it works. The link provided by Edhoari is the Debian installer
with proprietaries firmware.

FYI, Debian ships only free software by default, it's because the
manufacturer of your WiFi card only provides a proprietary driver for
your WIFI card."

2 computers, tried twice on one, three times on another, the drivers
of the unofficial debian mate iso work, it see networks but don't
connect.
