Thanks for confirming I am not going crazy (: I've been googling around to see if USB is a non-free firmware element and from what I can tell since loading firmware via USB seems to be the recommended way to load non-free drivers I doubt this is a licensing issue. From what I've read it

Installed ASCII using Expert (text) from devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso. I'm very familiar with the Debian Installer interface from years of using it. Selected a static IP for the network setup and a local apt-cacher-ng proxy of us.deb.devuan.org for a faster response when (re)installing my
