Summary0005274: Kali Linux installation fails, no network card found (Realtek RTL8822BE), but live Kali works with WiFi fine
Description

/Hi there,

I have a Lenovo Flex 6-14IKB laptop with Realtek RTL8822BE (WiFi+Bluetooth) network adaper in it.

When I try to install Kali Linux on it (from an ISO mounted on a USB flash drive), the installation process is interruptedon a network card driver selection stage. The installer asks me to choose a network adapter from a list (pretty long one) of network adapters, but the required one (RTL8822BE) is not there.

Interestingly, but
1) If loaded as a live USB Kali Linus the WiFi works fine, meaning the network adapter driver was properly initiated;
2) the required 8822bef driver IS actually in the firmware folder root/usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi - the file called rtl8822befw.bin

could it be possible that this driver is mistakenly not included in the list of network drivers which we see during Kali Linux installation?

thanks

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
