because as a volunteer I don't feel constrained by your constraints, I will
ask anyway: If Wifi turned off, how are you connected to the hotspot?

As intended by the manufacturer <grin>
It connects to:
  host via USB
  internet via cell network
  others via WiFi

I assume you are installing debian on a computer and not on the hotspot.

View "hotspot" as a fancy modem.

I am using an Alcatel Linkzone sold by T-Mobile.
It is labeled "4G LTE HotSpot.
The WiFi has been turned off via the device's setup menu.

Is anyone on this list using that device? ?? ???? ;}


I am trying to install Debian 11.3
    [requires non-free firmware]

I have succeeded. *ROFL* ;/
        *BUT* I'm trying to document encountered problems.

I'm developing a test procedure to be the basis of a "bug report".

I am looking for a fellow Linkzone user to be a QC checkpoint.

Takers &/or comments.
