Hello, I had some difficulty installing Debian. Specifically, when I'm doing the network autoconfiguration, the wizard is asking for me to download the rtl_nic/rtl8105e-1.fw file. I have checked countless forums online and many of them suggest downloading another package. The only problem with that is that I can not download anything yet (even if I use Ctrl-Alt-F2) because rtl_nic/rtl8105e-1.fw is needed to access my wifi or web. Can you please help me with this?
Debian Installer don't include non-free firmware but if the user wants it's possible to load it during the installation process.
You can do it as described on the installation guide [1].Altough Debian don't distribute non-free packages there is a non-free section on the archive. The file you mention is included on the firmware-realtek package [2].
I hope this helps. 1 - http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/ch06s04.html 2 - http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware-realtek -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo
