Bug#1118489: Installing Debian 13 on Wandboard - installer finds no ethernet



Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

-- Package-specific info:

Boot method: Followed the instruction in www.debian.org/releases//stable/armhf/ch05s01.en.html#boot-installer-sd-image
Image version:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/main/installer-armhf/current/images/hd-media/SD-card-images/

Machine: Wandboard
Partitions: Didn't get that far in the installation

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot: [ok]
Detect network card: [failed] could not proceed
Overall install: [failed ]

Comments/Problems:

I downloaded the two-part image from [1] dated 2025-09-01 and tried to
install it on my Wandboard.

It booted fine but when it got to the "Detect network hardware" phase,
it failed and said:

> No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver
> needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list.
> Driver needed by your Ethernet card:

and gave a long list of available ethernet drivers, none of which seemed to be relevant.
