Re: Problem with installation Debian 9
The problem was, like you say, the non free firmware requires. I could install debian using wired connection. Thanks all! Regards!

Dave, I think first of all, that you must take care the language used here. If you have the knowledge to avoid the spams, maybe you have to work on the solution, talking with DD instead "offer your services".
