Hi, I am using the net installer of Jessie version 8.0.0 that includes

Could you give us the full name of the Jessie ISO?
as I am totally blind and found that the latest installer once it was
installed I had no software speech after installing the system.
It depends on how you install your system. If you install you system in
braille or in "normal" way it's the normal effect.
I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with just a text based
system mainly for a rescue system for when X windows is down and for
times when I don't wish to use X windows. I found that during the
installation I was able to connect to the internet and successfully
install the system but once the system was rebooted I had no internet
access over any network method.
As I know, It seems there is no link with accessibility in this case.
What would it take for the debian installation to copy the network
settings from the installer to the target system as it makes no sence
why networking would be setup and working during a text based
installation but not in the target system? What file should I edit to
add my wireless network as well as my wired network using DHCP so they
both will work when my text based system boots? Nick Gawronski
The tips I use is to install a new driver for your Debian system.
For doing something like that you need to follow some steps :
1) Find the model of your card and the related firmware package in
Debian, if it's a Intel Wireless card it's the package firmware-iwlwifi
<https://packages.debian.org/fr/jessie/firmware-iwlwifi>
2) Add the backports repo in your environment as explained in this page
: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
3) Install the new package with a command like that : "apt-get install
-t jessie-backports FIRMWARE_NAME"
