Yesterday I installed Debian with minimal install and no internet because I couldn't find any way to connect to it in the installation process.
I tried to follow some tutorials but they would always fail with "invalid command" or "cannot find device ..".
So I was asking if it was possible to connect to a wifi/hotspot?
What I found:
Some users suggested to modify the content of /etc/network/interface, but I'd get an error after executing the command (ip link set .. up),
