Helping a friend install debian on their laptop. Downloaded two different isos:
1. debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso
2. firmware-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Booted iso 1 and confirmed I can connect to wifi, sound works, etc.
Repacked iso 2 with preseed.cfg. Booted from that. I get the error "No ethernet card detected". This message is false, as confirmed with iso 1. Booted from a stock iso 2 and have the same issue.
How do I resolve this issue? I would prefer to not have to do a full manual installation, that's what I've spent all this time on preseed.cfg for. Does "firmware-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso" not come with the firmware despite saying that it does?

Re: No ethernet card detected
This is from the non-free netinstall image:
I don't have the MATE non-free image but you can just mount it and list the contents like this:

Re: No ethernet card detected
The contents of "debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso" firmware dir looks like:
Thanks to your help, I realized that the contents of "firmware" for the live cd and the netinst are not identical. I hoped that I could simply copy over all the firmware from the live cd when repacking, so I just did that now. This is the contents of the firmware dir after my repack:
But that unfortunately didn't work. How do I fix this?
Thank you!

Re: No ethernet card detected
My apologies, I'm not sure what information that page has that is useful here?
The "live + firmware" cd works perfectly, but the netinst is missing some firmware files. I copied all the firmware over from the "live + firmware" cd to the netinst, but it still chokes.
How do I convince the netinst installer to use the entire contents of "firmware"?
More to the point, why does the contents of "firmware" differ between these two cds?
I realize that as a workaround I can do a manual installation, but I normally use a preseed to automate a bunch of work for me (and more importantly, so I don't have to keep checking on it)
Is there a way I can still use preseed here?

Or you can use live-build to make your own ISO image containing whatever you want (including a preseed configuration file), see the github page linked in my signature for an example of how to do this.
