Hello,

My machine has a Broadcom BCM4352 wireless adapter, which seems that has no driver in PVE. Its visible through lspci | grep -i network, but the interface is not created in /etc/network/interfaces.

After some research, I've found out that there are available drivers for more specific Broadcom adapters for Debian. There are also guides how to install them, see:
https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
https://wiki.debian.org/wl - This refers to my BCM4352 adapter.

The installation process fails at the first steps, due to not finding linux-images and linux-headers for pve.

Could somebody help me install this driver?

Thank you very much!

PVE isn't using the Debian kernel. Its based on Debian but uses a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel and comes with its own drivers. If you need headers for compiling, check that you installed the "pve-headers" package.
