Okay, I got past the original issue with WiFi with David's help. The issue with the acpi-call-dkms installation with the 6.1.0-34-amd64 kernel got resolved when I went ahead and started using the 6.1.0-41-amd64 kernel. Still not quite out of the woods since what I need to use is the acpi_cpufreq scaling driver instead of intel_pstate driver, and I need to find out where to set that in the kernel parameters. I'll open a new ticket for that so this one can be closed.

TDM --> SDDM to fix a display bug with multiple monitors

Just downloaded and installed from the newer ISO, tethered TDE to my old Android tablet, downloaded the brcm80211 firmware (most other distros use wl, but apparently it's not available here?). Did the modprobe activation and have wifi. So the wifi issue is done. HOWEVER -- I'm not yet done. My ancient laptop needs to have the power turned off to the Nvidia GPU, so I usually download and install acpi-call-dkms and set it up. Did that, but the acpi-call.ko module can't be built bcz the linux headers...

Yes, it's a Broadcom 4313, I had seen the wiki or other article before. I think my mistake was in adding a DIFFERENT source line with a DIFFERENT repository with the contrib non-free stuff. Duh. I don't usually muck with that part of my setups unless I have more specific info like what you just gave! inxi -nn (rf711) 10:30:27 Network: Device-1: Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter driver: wl IF: wlan0 state: up mac: b4:74:9f:7c:bd:95 SOOO...should I simply tether my Exe install to...
