Debian guy could have saved time by connecting to lan after boot and installing the wifi package directly.
Or for laptops with no Ethernet, USB-tether a phone.
I completely forgot there are laptops with no lan port now.
NOT IN THIS HOUSE THERE AREN'T, YOUNG MAN!
For some reason, this didn't work on my old phone after installing PixelExperience 11 on it.
There's a third way. Bluetooth. At least you don't need a cable, and you'll save power.
For that reason, I usually use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi, unless I need higher bandwidth (except during peak hours of network usage, when my connection speed is below 1Mbps anyway).
Happened to me a few times already that the ethernet drivers are unfree.
WHAT?! I would have never guessed that. Lan has always seemed to be the one part that’s dependable, no matter what’s booting.
*shakes fist at heaven*
Damned thou shalt be, Atheros gigabit ethernet chip!
Or installed Bookworm.
Guess it depends on hardware, I still had to add the wifi driver for bookworm.
