Hi Fabian,

Fabian Greffrath <fabian@debian.org> (2023-05-09):
> Sadly, another failed attempt to install Debian on my brand-new Lenovo
> IdeaPad 5, this time using a USB dongle equiped with the Realtek
> RTL8188EUS chip set.
> 
> The installer failed to detect the network adapter and presented me
> with a list of kernel modules, none of which got my device to work.
> This is what dmesg reports after I plug the adapter into a USB port on
> my current device, which is obviously not the same one as the report
> applies to  (which is why I removed all of the appended logs):
>
