Network card not detected during installation

#1 Post by themo »

Hi, I tried to install Debian on my laptop and I cannot continue the installation because I can't go over this error.

Some Info:

PC: Lenovo 320s-141kb
Network card: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac
Debian: stable non-free https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... 4/iso-dvd/

Other distros work: Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary.
I tried different ISOs of Debian but same error.

That card should be supported by the firmware-atheros package but perhaps stretch doesn't have the correct ID.

Try the buster RC1 installer instead.

Did you try the RC1 image that includes non-free firmware?

Did you check TTY4 for any error messages that might be useful?

Solved!!
I forgot to delete an old swap partition which interfered with the installation: strange problem.

Thank you for the help, I am very pleased to join the Debian community now :)
