Post by Jude DaShiellMany other linux flavors connect through our wi-fi network with no problem. Debian for whatever reason cannot connect. I learned this trying to install bookworm and I have no ethernet available. How is our wi-fi network so misconfigured that debian cannot get to the internet?
Jude:
More details please:
Which version of Debian?
Which other Linuxes have you tried?
Also:
Which laptop / desktop hardware?
Does Debian report missing hardware when you do dmesg | less or journalctl?
Which desktop environment installed and, crucially, which network client?
if you tried to install Bookworm - did you do so with the latest install
medium and did you try expert mode?
Network Manager / nmcli / nm-tui generally work to establish some sort of
connection if WiFi hardware is found.
Without details, everyone's pretty much in the dark here.
This is probably a more appropriate question for the debian-user mailing
list - follow-up st to there.
All the very best, as ever,
