[NOTABUG] Intel 7265 Wireless adapter not found during installation

This has been true for both Lithium and Beryllium.  It is an HP Pavilion 15z-cw000 laptop witn an Intel 7265 wireless chip.  I have always had to use a wired connection to install and then after installation the wireless adapter would be found and I could use it for further networking. The latest Lillidog will find the wireless chip during installation.

^ From the relevant thread and thank you @unklar

And then in the installer, I only have b43, b43legacy, ath9k_htc, and ath10k.  Do you have more in the installer itself as well?

No, we only explicitly pack the b43 stuff in the installer, everything else is handled by live-build and debian-installer between them, at least until the full system is installed. We don't even pack those ath* packages - I'll have to take a look at that (although they shouldn't apply to dmontaine2's case). Did you find some reference to them on a mailing list somewhere?

No, just personal experience.  New laptop is ath10, and an old wirless stick is ath9k_htc.  Both required firmware in the installer to grab the card properly.

I believe you can add wireless firmware in during the install if the chip is either not detected or is detected but indicates needs firmware.

^Thank you @sleekmason!

And thank you anyway @dmontaine2 - bug reports are always welcome, even if they turn out not to be bugs. As it turned out, this one brought up an interesting general discussion about firmware.

I've marked the OP [NOTABUG] for future readers.
