hi! are there any versions of checkinstall that properly save your settings for a particular package? it's extremely annoying for anything complicated to reenter them over and over again if anything goes wrong during the process, which it often does.

I'm running Debian Jessie on a MacBook Air, the WIFI connection is much weaker on Linux. Is there a way to improve it? Googling tells me it's to do with the wireless driver, but all information I found is Arch related. Any suggestion?

fifi-v, why would you even run linux instead of macOS?

fifi-v: you sure want to add the info which chipset you have got and which connection-manager you use.

my workflow is "lspci" and then enter "chipset +debian" in a searchengine of choice. Usually that leads me to the debian wiki

I'm runing i3 on xfce4, I usually use nmtui-connect as my connection manager.

fifi-v: i can't help with wireless. (i got a broadcam too, and i do know a) there is a debian wiki page and b) there are several drivers and c) i sometimes got problems too). But like said: i am not the right person for wireless. Good luck

I found this wiki page, https://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211, which seems helpful. Thank you.
