Dear Rajib,

I can't help you because I don't have such a card / chipset.

Please ensure that your /etc/apt/sources.list includes entries 
for main contrib and non-free

See, for example, the version for Debian Bullseye (oldstable) in this
link: https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

Then do an apt update ; apt upgrade to bring yourself up to date.

Install the package firmware-b43-installer and follow the prompts.

I'm fairly sure that's all it takes. You may need to uninstall wl
and / or any other changes you've made.

As the author of the FAQ posting made here every month; 
Please do not post political / nationalistic / controversial
points here - Debian is worldwide and Bharat nationalism may be
misplaced as not everyone will appreciate what you are writing.

With every good wish, as ever,

Andy Cater
