I moved to a new location where wi-fi connection fails. In old location wi-fi connection was successful so driver for card already comes with debian bookworm. The network is found and I select wpa psk and key in the password when prompted and the installer goes through trying to connect and cannot connect with connection failure. I installed another form of Linux which is how I'm writing this message at all. When I installed with the other form of linux 7 local networks were found as compared to debian's only 1. No installation logs since the installation couldn't continue this time. Devuan has the same failure and Fedora is one that works along with Jenux. Interesting archlinux also fails. In this local area some of the wi-fi networks have weird names and another contact wonders if this could be messing up several flavors of linux having a common error where those strange ssid's cause linux to fail to connect to any wi-fi network in the area. About this I do not know so having encountered this situation I figured to pass some information along. The card I have is a qualcom atheros wi-fi card if that helps any.
