I do have some laptops around that I'm testing firmware-related issues with, and I think I've noticed this (to be confirmed): - on a laptop without wired Ethernet, I'm getting a prompt for the wireless card and its firmware. - when booting it with a USB→Ethernet adapter, I'm getting a prompt for the (possibly missing but actually unimportant) firmware for the USB→Ethernet adapter, but no mention of the wireless card or missing firmware. > It could not activate the supplied driver from 2nd USB drive.

You could have used one of the unofficial/non-free images that come with all firmware packages: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ > Installation process of install via ethernet worked well.

You can double check you're using a software-based rendering by installing the mesa-utils package, running `glxinfo | grep renderer` should give you llvmpipe. Wild guess, you're lacking: - firmware-iwlwifi for bluetooth support (I do have a realtek wireless card here, but the kernel complains about files that are shipped in that package instead). - firmware-amd-graphics for proper display support. - firmware-sof-signed for sound support. All those wouldn't have been solved by using the firmware-enabled images because we're currently lacking some detection, but I'm working on this. For users of official installation images (main-only), I'm wondering whether to advertise something like this in the installation guide: sudo apt install isenkram-cli sudo isenkram-autoinstall-firmware sudo reboot Please note that due to #989884, one should install isenkram-cli from unstable to make sure the firmware file to firmware package lookup works. More on such issues on #989863 and follow-up bug reports when I get a chance to sum up my findings.
