Deuterium install on Xiaomi notebook 12"5

Hello,

I can't use wifi driver on install, don't have Ethernet port and touchpad doesn't work on live.

Lubuntu 17.04 is ok, but i prefer debian + no DE

Debian 9.0.1 : Touchpad ok but it's seems that wireless driver is missing again

there is a way ? Maybe netinstall or whatever ?

Obviously i need a 4.10 linux kernel...

Wifi device : INTEL 8260
Touchpad : i don't know were to find model

Thanks

Does any of this give you a direction to go in?

Looks like Linux kernel loads an Acer module, which conflicts with our wifi chip.

I googled "debian xiaomi notebook"

Ok thank you for your search.

When i type

rfkill list

no wifi interface, just hci0 : Bluetooth

I can get off Acer module,and load iwlwifi.

But

rfkill list

still give me no wifi interface.

And even working i can't go to nm-applet cause touchpad don't move.

On install without graphical, no known way to recognize wifi device, then apt can't set mirrors.

Archlabs-live works like a charm

Perhaps you can ask there what they have done to make it all work.

It may be that your hardware needs a newer kernel.

You are incorrect in your assumption.

The wireless driver is present and correct but the (non-free) firmware required by your card is not included in the official Debian release because the source code is not available.

See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for more on this.

There are unofficial images available that contain the firmware your card needs:
