Bug 30744

When attempting to install Mageia 8 on my Samsung Galaxy Book i7-1165G7 using “Mageia-8-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso”, from an updated mirror 2022-08-10, I was not able to get any network card to work.

The internal WiFi, a very old USB-WiFi and a USB mobile modem, all three resulted in,

"No NET device found."

A USB C-Ethernet adapter resulted in a possibility to select, "enp0s13f0u1c2 (cdc-ncm)". The specs for my USB-C-Ethernet-adapter says that there is a driver for it in the Linux kernel 3.2 and above and that is correct according to my experience with Mageia 8.

But after the installation program was trying to resolve DNS I used the Alt-F3 to show logs. This is what it showed,

* interface enp0s13f0u1c2 doesn't support wireless
* DHCP: sending DISCOVER
* <sleep>
* DHCP: sending  REQUEST
* got gateway 192.168.1.1
* got dns 192.168.1.1
* got dns2 192.168.1.1
* configuring device enp0s13f0u1c2 ip: 192.168.1.100 nm: 255.255.255.0 nw: 192.168.1.0 bc: 192.168.1.255

* FTP: trying to connect to 192.168.1.51
* FTP: error connect -6

And then in Alt-F1,

Error: failed to connect to remote host.
