I've been using "Debian GNU/Linux 12.2.0 "Bookworm" - Official amd64 NETINST with firmware 20231007-10:28" and had no problems with non-free firmware on my several computers. So to diagnose this further, exactly what hardware? Please run lspci, and run lspci -v for the offending device. Also, you can run the netinst installer at least through the relevant installation phase. Then please capture the logs, probably under /var/log. Searching syslog on the word "firmware" should turn up some interesting messages. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
