Re: Re: RTL8852 driver for Debian 11

[Richard Smith]

I'm currently wrestling with Debian 12 for my Lenovo IdeaPad 7 laptop - after 
having the NIC function swimmingly with Ubuntu, Kali, LMDE, and Tails.
Not only is wireless not seen - but it seems that the functionality of the DVD 
version leaves a LOT to be desired. The only place I found that had the driver 
required me to install more content from online (which I can't access, due to 
the laptop not having an Ethernet port, as well as no wireless).

When one couples the above with the Debian site being horrible organized 
(seriously: it gives me the impression that people don't want you to use 
Debian), I cant help but think: for all of this talk about Debian being 
awesome, I am spending WAY too much time installing this - with very little to 
show for it!

Testing access to the message.

I find the issue with Debian weird, as I was able to use this same computer 
(Lenovo IdeaPad I7, with a Realtek b52 controller) with Ubuntu, Kali, and 
Tails, without an issue!

I hear that Debian is awesome when it comes to stability - but after spending 
over 8 hours trying to install it to my laptop, I'm beginning to question what 
constitutes as "awesome" in some people's eyes...

I'm trying to learn about how to compile a driver (if I can find one for Debian 
12) - if anyone can assist, that would be great!
