Les bureaux ont l'air d'être bien présents sous une forme différente de ce à quoi je m'attendais : wmctrl rapporte une largeur de bureau de 7680 pixels, ce qui correspond exactement à quatre fois la largeur de l'espace de travail de 1920 pixels.

I just downloaded the latest netinst [1] and booted that with my ethernet cable disconnected and my phone connected to USB for 'USB Tethering'. The installer first tries automatically configuring the 'eno1' interface (wired ethernet) then after failing moves on to 'usb0' (my phone) which succeeds in configuring a network connection using DHCP. So it seems the installer will work fine with a USB wireless network device if it presents itself as a CDC device to the kernel, supporting the Remote NDIS protocol. It make work in other cases, that's just what my phone does and what I tested. [1] https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso -- Tixy

It's just part of the USB protocols for devices that want to look like ethernet and the Linux kernel has drivers for that. When I plug my Android phone into a PC via USB, I get to select on the phone what it should use USB for. If I select 'USB tethering' then the 'dmesg' output on the PC shows usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether rndis_host 2-2:1.0 usb0: register 'rndis_host' at usb-:00:14.0-2, RNDIS device, 6a:28:cd:07:4f:f1 usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host Then running 'ip link' from a command-line shows I've gained and ethernet device called 'usb0' which I can select in Network Manager if I choose. I suspect your Linkzone device is effectively an Android phone without a screen. But this doesn't help you, because you can't tell your device what USB protocol to select, unless the App for controlling the device that Alcatel's web site mentions lets you do that. There again, if you had an phone to run the app you wouldn't need the Linkzone, you could just use your phone for mobile internet access. Perhaps more relevantly, a previous phone of mine would always show up first as a USB mass storage device, and the contents looked like some Windows software (presumable so a Windows could automatically install something). If I remember correctly. I would have to unmount that before I could connect to it properly for file transfer via MTP or as a USB network device. -- Tixy

Google does. It's part of the documentation in the Linux source code
for the "Driver for CDC MBIM Mobile Broadband modems".
Perhaps that is what your Linkzone implements and no Ethernet as I
speculated? You can check by looking at the kernel logs when you plug
the device in on a computer.

Maybe you should use it because that's where you will find a lot of non free firmwares.

Based on using that device on all of my Debian machines, I believe the problem is how Debian negotiates with a USB device and that the Linkzone resembles a disk drive until the negotiations have been completed. My evidence is how GParted responds to a USB flash drive. If the flash drive is inserted first, it is /dev/sdb . Else if the Linkzone is inserted first, the flash drive is identified as /dev/sdc . Is there any workaround? TIA Is the linkzone recognised at all as a modem? I'm connected to the internet right now with it as I have been since days of Squeeze/Wheezy. Do you have wired connectivity available to you - that's also a way round "stuff" with firmware to at least get a system up and running. All best, Andy Cater

I have had no troubles with multiple installs, but I only use the nonfree Based on using that device on all of my Debian machines, I believe the problem is how Debian negotiates with a USB device and that the Linkzone resembles a disk drive until the negotiations have been completed. My evidence is how GParted responds to a USB flash drive. If the flash drive is inserted first, it is /dev/sdb . Else if the Linkzone is inserted first, the flash drive is identified as /dev/sdc . Is there any workaround? TIA

There are usually only three or four button switches used in mice, and yes, the quick answer is to keep broken mice, marking them if they are broken because of a switch. The switches are normally easily available new, the trick can be in identifying the exact model. Mice are not usually very forgiving about exact sizes. In the last few days, I've had a left button go dodgy in a H-P mouse, and I'm currently trying to get the case open without breaking it. -- Joe
Intrinsic problem with netinst.iso?
It appears to me that netinst.iso assumes that there are *exactly* two choices for internet connectivity: an ethernet device *OR* WiFi However, I use a USB device [ an Alcatel Linkzone from T-Mobile ] The installer is unable to see the internet. Based on using that device on all of my Debian machines, I believe the problem is how Debian negotiates with a USB device and that the Linkzone resembles a disk drive until the negotiations have been completed. My evidence is how GParted responds to a USB flash drive. If the flash drive is inserted first, it is /dev/sdb . Else if the Linkzone is inserted first, the flash drive is identified as /dev/sdc . Is there any workaround? TIA

Thanks for your analysis. The bounces we got (not only from GMX/Web.de) only complain about RfC-violation, but didn't show why. We now disabled bounce-detection if it is related to that. We'll check how to be more strict in accepting these kind of mails now. Yours, Cord, Debian Listmaster of the day -- https://lists.debian.org
