Can you tell us what WiFi card your laptop has (or what laptop you use)
WiFi should work fine out of the box but some cards need special
drivers sometimes (like realtek)

hi,

i installed debian 9 on my laptop and it isn't supporting the wifi
sub-system.
i tried minimal-install of fedora 29 and the wifi is supported but
remains unconfigured.
so basically, the wifi drivers do exist under linux, just not under
stock debian.

is there any particular variant of debian (other than ubuntu and
derivates) i should try out to check if it would support wifi
networking
under my laptop?

thanks,

~mayuresh
