Bug#1116314: installation-reports: Lenovo B590 build-in WLAN not discovered (had to book from usb WLAN)



I tried to install "wl" as described here (https://wiki.debian.org/wl), however it did not work. e.g. 'modprobe wl' does not seem work on debian trixie:

https://wiki.debian.org/wl (point 5. & 6.)

Also strangely there seems to be a package "wl" before adding non-free to sources.list. Somehow it depends on Emacs.

The installer did not detect the build-in WLAN chipset, I had to enter a USB WLAN. During Boot some error messages were shown.

It looks like this device requires the non-free driver "wl" built by package broadcom-sta-dkms. AFAIK non-free drivers cannot be included in official installation images.
