Re: [SOLVED] Bare minimum Debian install

What's your wifi adapter (card) model ?

I installed BunsenLabs from a minimal debian install.

Non-free-netinstall does have wifi drivers for installation bit they are not installed on your system.

I had to install them after (putting the .deb file on a usb key, mounting it and install manually)

I installed the wifi card firmware, dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant packages and followed the wiki to get my wifi up.

Will post a HOW-TO tomorrow

Thank you, but I know the procedure :-)  I used to have an arch installation

I just wanted to know the best way to do a BASE install through wifi. But for some reason my kernel soft blocks my wireless device. That's why I need rfkill. Apparently though, it is not included in the standard system utilities...

Re: [SOLVED] Bare minimum Debian install

Yes, found a solution!

I mounted the installation USB and pointed my sources.list to this mount.
DVD 1 contains the rfkill package :-)

deb [trusted=yes] file:/media/usb0/ buster main contrib non-free

I unblocked my wireless device and with wpa_supplicant and dhclient combined, I now have an active internet connection

Thx everyone for your help

Re: [SOLVED] Bare minimum Debian install

Surprised debian installer didn't offer the rfkill package considering a wireless device was detected. Rfkill should be an essential part of the wireless tools.
