Dear guys,
I tested again with firmware-jessie-DI-b1-i386-netinst.iso and
firmware-testing-i386-netinst.iso, now both ethernet and wireless card are
detected :). I was so excited. The direction is right to use non-free installer.
When I entered my correct password but after a while the error
message I got is
"The exchange of keys and association with the access point
failed. Please check the WPA/WPA2 parameters you provided." :(.
I could download a additional Atheros driver, but without internet connection
it could not be installed due to pakage dependency.
In google I have more or less learned there is still something missing in
installer, maybe it is a bug?
Hopefully someone could consider this issue and I am looking much forward and
waiting for new version released.
Thanks again all guys, I feel realy warm here :).
Fanghua
