Hi,
I downloaded one of the firmware netinstall builds of Debian from today
(11/03/2020) to try installing on my netbook with the 8821ce wifi card since
Debian now has the 5.9 kernel. During the text install with speech, I received
an error that the network card could not be found. I opened a console and
looking at dmesg showed the driver not finding the firmware with a -2 error,
however, I noticed that the requested files had been unpacked to /lib/firmware.
I unloaded rtw88_8821ce and reloaded it using modprobe and the firmware was
found, after which the network interface was successfully brought up. I was
able to continue through the rest of the install without issue. I am not sure
what logs would help but would be happy to provide anything requested to
diagnose this issue.
