The file you mentioned is the ancient firmware that got updated with
the cypress one fixing amongst other things (CVE-2019-15126):

 Link: brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin -> ../cypress/cyfmac43340-sdio.bin

This symlink is inside of firmware-brcm80211_20210208-3_all.deb
(shipped in unstable and soon in testing).


Now the open question is which configuration file where you missing,
could you please post the error message of that?
Without the filename/path of the needed config this report will not
help to improve the firmware packages.


thank you + kind regards

#69699

I no longer have the (damaged and useless) installation attempt
that led to this report.   I recall that when I succeeded in
supplying brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin, the next installation attempt
presented the same type of error message, asking for brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt

I found a file with that name on github, and there was some evidence
that it worked.  I believe it's attacked to the bug report thread.

missing brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt depends on the device, see for example
https://bugs.debian.org/982579

if you have still the device around let us know, otherwise
the bug report will closed.

I relooked for it but didn't see the error log message.
