I moved to a new location where wi-fi connection fails. In old location
wi-fi connection was successful so driver for card already comes with
debian bookworm.
The network is found and I select wpa psk and key in the password when
prompted and the installer goes through trying to connect and cannot
connect with connection failure.
I installed another form of Linux which is how I'm writing this message at
all.
When I installed with the other form of linux 7 local networks were found
as compared to debian's only 1.
No installation logs since the installation couldn't continue this time.
Devuan has the same failure and Fedora is one that works along with Jenux. Interesting archlinux also fails.
In this local area some of the wi-fi networks have weird names and another contact wonders if this could be messing up several flavors of linux
having a common error where those strange ssid's cause linux to fail to
connect to any wi-fi network in the area. About this I do not know so
having encountered this situation I figured to pass some information
along. The card I have is a qualcom atheros wi-fi card if that helps any.
