You would have done better to have read further and, amongst other posts which are pertinent to what Long Wind and Charlie S wrote, you would have found this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/02/msg00015.html The plain and simple fact is that a user who installs over a wireless link and does not have network-manager does not have any connectivity to the internet after first boot. Long Wind solved the issue by taking the advice given and Charlie S used his initiative and knowledge to devise an /e/n/i file which replaced the one the installer had wiped out. This has been going on since Debian 7.0.0 and is not the first time the issue has arisen here. Debian must be the only OS which deliberately removes connectivity present during installation. In the link above David Wright asks whether this is a "sick joke". If the reasons for inflicting this issue on users were explained in some detail, we could perhaps answer sensibly. [Snip. The issue in this thread has nothing to do with an installed network-manager.] -- Brian.
