@kapqa @Calamity Thank you for the suggestions. The laptop does have an ethernet port, I just don't have access to a network where I can connect using an ethernet cable under the current circumstances.

@rbit Thank you, I'll mark the issue as solved. Looking forward to the updated Installer.

ISO: Freia NetInstall (20260819)
Device: ThinkPad T16
CPU: Ryzen AI 450 Pro
Wireless Card: MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 2x2 BE & Bluetooth® 5.4
USB Media: Venoty 1.1.17

Description:

When trying to install Devuan Freia, the following error message shows up -

Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media, sub as a UBS stick or floppy.

Missing firmware files are:
mediatek/mt7925/WIFI_MT7925_PATCH_MCU_1_1_hdr.bin
mediatek/mt7925/WIFI_RAM_CIDE_MT7925_1_1.bin

I am unable to proceed with the installation due to the lack of an ethernet port.
From my understanding Linux Kernel 7.1.8 should have the files already included by default. I have no such issues when using Debian Forky's NetInstall ISO. Any help would be appreciated.
