#233290 — WiFi Hardware not detected, during Debian NetInst Install

SubjectWiFi Hardware not detected, during Debian NetInst Install

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

Later this week, I will be helping a friend install Debian onto a Lenovo
Ideapad Laptop.  This will be in a Public Space with, only WiFi available.

Both his Lenovo, and my HP Laptop have the same WiFi hardware, found via a
"lspci" command:

> Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n
PCIe Adapter

So, to ensure that we can complete the Install, I wanted to test, using,
first a Debian Bullseye Netinst CD and, when it failed, a Debian Buster
10.3 NetInst CD.

In both cases, I used my favorite, Text / Expert Install (but also tried
Bullseye with the "normal" Text Install).  it gets to the step, to find,
and configure the Network, but only finds the Ethernet Port which, for the
purposes of my test, has no Cable attached.  So, obviously, the Network
Configuration fails!

I was ready for it to Find the WiFi, and had, in advance, populated the
/firmware directory of a USB Thumbdrive, but it never gets to the step,
where it is asking for it.

Any Insights?

Thanks in advance!

Kenneth Parker

No good.  I downloaded "Debian GNU/Linux bullseye-DI-alpha3 "Bullseye" -
Unofficial amd64 NETINST with firmware 20201203-12:50"
(Above was the description in the Expert Text Install).

One note:  It took about a minute on the "Detect Network Hardware" step,
before continuing, and only finding Ethernet.

So what is special about the RTL8723DE WiFi Adapter?  (After Installation,
I can find it, and the Realtek Firmware works).

Thanks in advance,

Kenneth Parker

Try a more recent weekly image, it should have a slightly newer kernel.

Maybe it triggers a bug in the D-I and/or kernel in the images you tried 
so far.

If the latest weekly shows the same symptoms I'd suggest you file a bug 
against debian-installer, preferably with reportbug immediately after 
completing the installation.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Done.  Debian "Bullseye" Official Snapshot amd64 Netinst 20210315-93:04

Same behavior.

Note:  This is an "Over-Simplification"  of Agonizing Work, to get to where
I was.  For example, "lspci" is what gives me the Adapter Information.  The
first place where I got this Adapter to work was Mint 20.  However, in
preparation for helping my friend, I got Firmware and Drivers, using only a
Bullseye KDE System, via the Non-Free routes.

I concur, based on my latest Install attempt.  And, by the way, using only
the Minimal Sid system, "ip a" gives no info AT ALL about the WiFi Adapter.

If the latest weekly shows the same symptoms...


It does...

Please let us know the bug number. I have a similar issue and may be
able to provide more data.

I am still mucking around, trying to get WiFi working.

I guess that I should put in a "narrow" Bug Report, about netinst not
finding RTL8723DE and then go back to my attempts to get WiFi working.

My issue now, is that the results of netinst doesn't have all the pieces,
needed for WiFi.  For example, I can't find wpasupplicant.

My latest test, for the purpose of the Bug Report is the "standard"
netinst.  Is it correct, that it should be missing prerequisites for WiFi?
I didn't try (yet) mounting the CD, to look for missing .deb files. (Just
thought of it now).

Thanks, Charles.

My netinst (bullseye) knows about rtw88_8723de. modinfo tells me.

Tangential.

I'm not so sure that's a tangent, as d-i appears to use wpasupplicant to
set up connections.

How can it set up a connection if there isn't an interface to connect
to?

Because I'm not sure that's what's happening.

What I see (using the firmware unofficial d-i) is that the appropriate
driver is loaded, the appropriate firmware is loaded, and wpasupplicant
is loaded and running. But when it comes to running netcfg, netcfg
cannot connect to wpasupplicant.

If something else is going on in the OP's setup, he would need
wpasupplicant once he solved that problem.

*You* can't find wpasupplicant, or the debian installer (d-i) can't
find wpasupplicant? My logs indicate that it is present, that d-i
installs it, but that netcfg can't find it when it needs it.

The "standard" approved, official, rubber stamped and delivered in a
official dispatch box has no firmware binary blobs on it. The
unofficial version indeed has the firmware blobs on it (unless the one
you need is too new to have made it in), and the code to detect the
need and apply it.

I am using the unofficial, with firmware version,
firmware-testing-i386-netinst.iso, dated Mar 14 23:28. On my
problematic hardware (an ancient 686 IBM R51), the firmware I need is
present and gets installed properly. But I still do not get a
connection.

Actually, there were User Errors included here.  I couldn't find the
packages I needed to bring up WiFi, after manual installation of Firmware.

The User Error was my failure to look in the packages available but not

Submitted.  Bug#985755.

As reportbug figured out, this was submitted in Novice Mode.

Pretty useless as it stands. It basically says - something doesn't

I think my best, followup is to state "how to recreate the problem".

The Bug Report looks like a "temporary email list".  Is that true? Can I
"submit updates"?
