Missing firmware for device
---
== Problem ==
A device on my computer does not work with PureOS. Logs say something about missing firmware.
== Check ==
PureOS is designed to support only devices which do not require non-free/proprietary binary drivers or firmware, meaning it __does not have__ such drivers/firmware. Check if your computer have such devices (AMD or nVidia graphics, Intel or newer Broadcom wireless lan cards, etc).
== Solution ==
Check if the //firmware-linux-free// package is installed, install it if not. If the device requires non-free/proprietary binary drivers/firmware, it won't work in PureOS.
