Re: WiFi Hardware not detected, during Debian NetInst Install
I submitted the following Text to Bug 985755. Text File has How to Recreate the Problem.

1. Have Laptop, with the following WiFi Hardware (as per lspci Command):
> Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter
2. Use Netinst CD to begin an Install. I tried this with many different ones, from Buster, Bullseye, Bullseye with Non-Free, Sid.
3. Follow Instructions up to Network Configuration. Note: I have used both Text Installer and Expert Text Installer.
4. Offending Step is, "Detect Network Hardware".
It takes about a minute wait, before something, perhaps times out, and it returns, sure that there is ONLY an Ethernet Port on the Laptop.
The Problem is Recreated. It's hard to figure out how to describe something so early in the Install Process. Hopefully, this helps.
