Simplified query:
After installing Debian 9.7, without Networking, and without an Ethernet
connection,
how does one go about installing Intel Wireless (with the non-free bits
available on a USB drive)?
Firmware (free or non-free) goes in /lib/firmware.
Solved.
Dropping the iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode (and -21.ucode just to be safe)
into /lib/firmware AND REBOOTING brought the system right into
functioning wifi networking.
The spurious -26, -25, -24, -23.ucode files that the network
installation section
of the off-line 9.6 and 9.7 installs had requested; do not seem to be
required.
Of course, /etc/apt/sources.list was still pointing at the cdrom
repository and needed to be updated after everything was running to
point to the stretch repositories.
Everything is running fine.
Thank you all.
