Debian 11 is set up but you're having trouble accessing the internet.
Installed Debian 11 and faced issues with setting up the wireless network card. It wasn't recognized during installation, preventing connection to the network. Planned to add Standard System Utils later and install firmware via CLI. Network card appears when using lspci and systemctl, indicating firmware is loaded and active. Currently unsure how to connect to the home network without matching available guides. USB installation attempt failed due to an unknown option error. Only loopback interface is visible on network interfaces. Seeking advice on next steps.
I tried the first method and noticed its dependencies. It recommended using -install, so I did that and it produced this result. I plan to test other networking packages with fewer dependencies.
Sure, I'll look into it. I've been trying to set up Debian 11 to study Debian and use a tiling manager like qtile or i3wm. It might just be easier to install a different OS that already has the firmware ready, rather than dealing with this setup. I'm planning to remove the current desktop environment and install a tiling manager, which feels more manageable than this process. Likely I'll go with Linux Mint or another Arch-based distribution.
It seems you'd have benefited more from a Debian installation here for Wi-Fi setups.
I completed it once for setting up a server on a mini PC without Ethernet, using only Wi-Fi. I had to locate all the required dependencies online, save them onto a USB drive, connect it to my server machine, and install each package step by step before the Wi-Fi manager functioned properly. It was really frustrating because I didn’t remember which packages were needed. You’ll need to search a bit—there are three in total, as I recall.
