Hi, I installed Debian 10 on my old laptop (BIOS mode) using the
unsupported firmware iso.
I noticed that using the Graphical installer it fails connecting to the
wifi.
Using the classic ncurses installer, it connects successfully.
I checked also with the latest firmware-10.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso and it
still fails.
This is my wifi network card:
05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
Subsystem: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 27

The laptop is an Acer Aspire 6935G.
Did any of you experience the same problem?
