Hello, i Tried to Install Proxmox but it gave me No Network Interface Found Error i guess the installer doesn't have the drivers for my Laptop wifi how to fix it ?
 
please provide a bit more information - as else it's not really possible to help:
* `journalctl -b` (the logs since booting up the system)
* `dmesg`
* /etc/network/interfaces - the network configuration
* `ip link`
* `ip addr`
* `ip route`

As you mentioned in the other thread that it's a wifi - keep in mind that most wifi NICs cannot work as bridge-ports and you most likely need to setup a routed configuration:

I hope this helps!

Hm - seems that pve-firmware is indeed missing the files.

the journal is empty though - which is quite odd - is the system currently in some kind of installer?!

You can install debian and Proxmox VE on top of that - just copy the firmware files your nic needs somewhere and move them to /lib/firmware after pve-firmware is installed

does the laptop not have any kind of wired nic?
you can probably also plug-in an USB nic for the installation ...

Unfortunately not the laptop doesn't have prebuilt Ethernet Port, Yes I'm taking the logs on the Installed booted from USB (switched to tty3) i will try install debian bookworm and install proxmox on top of that besides i don't really know where is the drivers for my wifi card on /lib/firmware i might ask you again.

I have installed debian and the problem is not on the kernel the problematic package is `pve-firmware` that doesn't have my drivers on it... The `pve-kernel` seems complete kernel and it's not the problem

Little update it's has been fixed by pushing some ucode to /lib/firmware i did extracted firmware from iwlwifi by using `dpkg-deb -R iwlwifi.deb extracted-iwlwifi/` and then copy all the ucode to /lib/firmware and it worked
