Hey guys. Yesterday I tried installing Debian 12.2. with the easy graphical install since I was doing it first time but I got stuck on DHCP settings becaus It didnt connect to my wifi. So I ignored it for the time being but when I loaded in desktop enviroment I still saw no wifi to which I could connect to. The problem shouldnt be with my card or wifi adapter since they worked no problem on previous distros( Linux Mint, Arch and Fedora). I just dunno what to do now. Can you give me some tips? Edit: As Rignmaster said. I connected my pc to a ethernet cable and istalled debian again and that worked magic. Now I can connect to net even via my wifi adapter. Many thanks to all of you guys for tips :D

Also sorry for super long delay. Yesterday after work I went out with my boys and I got completely wasted and I needded whole day to recover xD

    You may need firmware-iwlwifi from non-free. Is the network interface even available ?

    # iwconfig
    

    Assuming it’s not, what is your wifi adapter ?

    $ lspci|grep -i network

      Debian 12 ships with the non-free-firmware repo enabled by default, including firmware-iwlwifi, but a few Broadcom cards, and maybe others, still require software in non-free if I recall correctly
