Perhaps you have the required drivers in your Fedora template but not
your Debian template. You may want to investigate whether they're
available in a Debian package.

Update: Got it working. It needed the wifi drivers for Debian 8/9, as well as a 
couple of other utilities, found here: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi.

Also, I added the client for PrivateInternetAccess.com to the Net VM so I have 
a single netvm with always-on VPN.


Cheers,
Bash
