This sounds like you might have missed the wiki step "Add qnoc-sc8280xp module to initramfs": https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/X13s > And I can easily install tons of packages when I boot from the > installer USB stick into the rescue mode and chroot into the > installation on disk. OK then once you chroot into the installed system you should be able to check if qnoc-sc8280xp is in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. If not, echo qnoc-sc8280xp >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules update-initramfs -u -k all To triple-check that the needed module is in there: zstdcat /initrd.img | cpio -itv | grep qnoc-sc8280xp.ko In any case, the daily netinst image should now work! There's no need to manually copy any firmware and similar shenanigans. If you have the time, please follow the InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/X13s page again from the begingging to the end (quite a few things have changed) and let me know if that works for you. Thanks, Emanuele
