Hi!
This helped me alot so maybe it can help somebody else.
I recently installed Debian 12 on my Macbook Air 7.2 2014/2015, and did not have any wifi.
I installed with the Debian 12 LIVE ISO, and after that you need to add the contrib and non-free sources:
1. Open terminal
2. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
3. On every "deb" line you need to add contrib non-free between main and non-free-firmware. So it look likes main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
4. Save and exit
5. Connect your phone using USB or Bluetooth and connect to internet (USB Tethering didnt work for me) or just a USB to LAN adapter
6. sudo apt update
7. sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer broadcom-sta-dkms
8. Reboot and now you have wifi!
