I made up a very crude PoC: <https://salsa.debian.org/pham/netcfg/-/tree/pham/wifi7-1>
It checks sysfs for wireless heuristics.For this I made netcfg binary call a shell script because it is more flexible for debugging in the installer.
IF you want to test it, an ISO image is available for a limited time: <https://salsa.debian.org/pham/netcfg/-/jobs/7509146/artifacts/file/debian/output/debian-202501XX+salsaci+20250429+46-amd64-gtkmini.iso>
This image does not include non-free firmware, so you may need to provide firmware packages for your hardware such as firmware-iwlwifi on a separate media or in a FAT partition on the installer media. It has a 6MB FAT partition but it is too small for firmware-iwlfiwi. If you want to enlarge it or create another partition, you can use fdisk with options "-w never -W never" to preserve existing metadata.
