Unix & Linux Asked by Elegant Codeworks on January 21, 2021
Here’s my typical workflow for installing Ubuntu/Mint:
When I try to install Debian, it does not have drivers for either of my network devices.
How would I go about installing the driver for either of my network cards on Debian? It’s tricky because I cannot use the internet to get any of code or drivers.
Here's what worked for me:
iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode
in my case. Leave the install at that screen./etc/apt/sources.list
, you will have to find and download the .deb file without using apt-get
. apt-get download [package-name]
.firmware

Theoretically, it's possible to include the firmware on a separate device (like a USB key) during installation, but I've tried that about a dozen times on at least 5 different laptops across the last 3 Debian releases and never gotten it to work. Instead, I usually just use the unofficial non-free net install image.
If you know ahead of time what non-free firmware you'll need, you could download the .deb from packages.debian.org before installation, copy it to some external media, and dpkg --install
it after you finish installation.
