Package: installation-reports Preparing to install Debian on my new T430, which has an e1000e on eth0 and an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (supported with iwlwifi and non-free firmware) as wlan0.
I formatted a USB stick, copied the contents of boot.img.gz,[1] copied the netinst ISO,[2] and untarred the firmware tarball.[3]. I then booted from the USB stick, and proceeded through the advanced installer to the "automatically set up networking" step. At this point, things went wrong: it decided, despite no cable being plugged in, that it sensed a link on eth0 and tried to configure networking. I then tried going into a shell, modprobe -r e1000e, and then removing e1000e.ko. Now the "detect network hardware" step failed to detect any network device; the wifi card was apparently not seen. Then I downloaded the Wheezy 7.3.0 versions of boot.img.gz, the netinst ISO, and the firmware tarball, and put them on the USB stick. This detected the wifi card correctly and asked which I wanted to use to set up networking. At this point I aborted the install, because I had yet to install my new SSD.
