Debian Install Driver From Usb

Debian 8. Гдз По Рабочей Тетради По Геометрии 8 Класс Глазков Камаев. 9 - Install 16 GB USB. We recommend that you only purchase hardware from manufacturers that provide free drivers for their products.

I apologize in advance for the long post. I'm just trying to provide info on everything I've tried in hopes that someone else has had the same issue and can provide some insight. I am attempting to migrate from LMDE to Debian Testing - mostly due to the fact that I'm after a slightly more 'up to date' system, and the LM devs have opted to track stable.

Debian Install Driver From UsbDebian Install Driver From Usb

I've installed debian previously to play around with, but I am looking to set up a more permanent OS this time around. Anyway - for the moment, I'm trying to install Jessie onto a partition of my hard drive. My wireless card (Wired is not an option) uses the rt2800pci driver, which is included in the kernel - but for whatever reason, it also needs the non-free blobs to actually successfully scan for networks and connect, at least in the debian installer (I am unsure if LMDE includes the firmware blobs by default or not, so I can't be positive if this is an installer issue or driver/firmware issue). I am using the (unofficial) jessie netinst image with non-free firmware. I can burn the netinst image to my 1 GB flash drive with sudo dd if=/path/to/jessie.iso of=/dev/sdc which completes successfully.

I can then boot into the debian installer and proceed through the steps. However, this is where I have trouble. If I use the normal install, the installer does not even attempt to load the extra firmware files (probably because it thinks that the driver provided by the kernel is sufficient), and thus cannot use the wireless card. So I switch to the expert install, and during the 'load files from CD' step, I also choose the 'load-media' option, which gives me the ability to load drivers from the cdrom (flash drive).

So I then go back to the main menu and select this option. According to my understanding of this ISO, the installer should be able to find the firmware files on the drive. However, it fails to do so, stating that it cannot locate any driver files or packages. Thus - the wireless cannot scan/connect to networks, and the installation can't proceed. The installer DOES see wlan0 is present, and attempts to use it - it just cannot scan/connect. (FWIW, dropping to the console at this point and calling lspci does show the rt2800pci driver in use, but I am still unable to use the card) Another option is to use another flash drive, copy the firmware packages onto its root, and plug that in during this step (So I have two USBs plugged in).

This also fails with the same message. However, if I swap my install USB with the driver USB (take install USB out and put driver USB into the same port), the installer successfully loads the firmware and I can scan/connect to my wireless network (So I've established that I do need this non-free firmware).

I then swap the USBs back, but the installer fails during the actual install step, saying it cannot determine the distribution codename. This second case seems a bit of a kludge anyway since this ISO was created with the purpose of being able to use the non-free firmware files. I have also tried dropping to a console, navigating to the /firmware folder on the drive, and using apt-install myfirmware.deb where myfirmware is the full name of the firmware package for my card, I just don't have the name in front of me right now, but this also does not allow the installer to use my card.

So, in short, the only way I've gotten the installer to be able to use my card is to swap the two USBs out during the load firmware step, but this results in the rest of the install being unable to complete. Googling hasn't given me any information as to a solution beyond what I've already tried. Does anyone else have any thoughts as to what might be going on here? I'd heard it was fixed but the CD with non-free firmware has been broken for some time. Two ways to resolve. First, boot the installer then before starting the install, plug in the second thumb drive with the firmware. This has worked for me every time.

But - since you've already got the firmware on a thumb drive you could just complete the install and use dpkg instead of apt to install the firmware like this - as root: dpkg -i /path/to/firmware.deb then bounce the machine and your wireless card should come up.
