First, let me thank you for the warning about the bug that can affect
passwordless wifi. I didn't know that, and presumably the OP didn't either.
I've tried to help the OP get their system working with wifi. I think
the only other suggestions have been to start over. Perhaps that says
something. But I tried to make my suggestions applicable whichever .iso
had been used originally, and whatever software had been installed
during the d-i step. We've never been informed of either.
Your valued contributions, while correct, and interesting in
themselves, haven't made the same assumptions as mine, and I've
pointed that out along the way. I'm sorry to disappoint you in not
being able to make sense of your last contribution on some sort of
ISP provided router and "barrier". As far as the OP's problem is
concerned, I've already yielded to others.
Cheers,
David.
