Hello, I am currently using Sid version of Debian - in /etc/apt/sources.list i have: deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
non-free and non-free-firmware I have because of drivers I need for my machine (most acute is wifi receiver, but i guess for sound and graphic too) Now my hard drive is dieing and I bought a new HD. I want to install debian on new HD to replace current one. I tryed many approaches but what looks like more strightforward is using installer from: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso This is net installer with all non-free firmware I guess. Ist size is 644M. The problem is that my wifi receiver is not recognized by installer. On my current computer it need some password to be supplied when starting computer (it is done in /etc/network/interfaces iface wlxe8de27a5ab1c inet dhcp wpa-ssid Thomson wpa-psk mypassword ) When I use installer CD I do see that lights on this wifi adapter does NOT blink at all (it stay off all the time). How do I get installer to make to recognize my wifi adapter? I have looked inside CD and it has all nonfree drivers I have installed on my computer instalation: firmware-linux-free firmware-amd-graphics firmware-atheros firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-realtek My wifi adapter is TP-LINK TL-WN722N Description of what happen when I start intaller CD: I start installer in Expert mode (somewhere i read it is needed to install Sid) All goes fine until installer try to detect network. It does not recognize my wifi adapter. It does some testing with ethernet adapter (enp3s0) then test for wifi searching DHCP and finds nothing (during this search I noticed that it does not use my wifi adapter - it does not blink at all). Then it offers me to enter values manualy but it uses those values with ethernet adapter. And I am stuck here: how do I recognize my wifi adapter? Martin
