To run wifi you need firmware-iwlwifi package. One that goes with Debian Buster is not fresh enough. So what I did I just get newest firmwareset from git The WiFi requires the firmware-iwlwifi package. The version from Debian buster is not new enough. You can try the version from backports, or get the newest firmware set from upstream git:
Line 22: Line 21:
# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
# cp linux-firmware/iwlwifi-* /lib/firmware/
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
$ sudo cp linux-firmware/iwlwifi-* /lib/firmware/

may be getting firmware-iwlwifi package from backports will do well too.

Quick notes about intalling Debian Buster on Thinkpad L13 Gen 2

Graphical system

The video card does not work out of box with Debian buster. You should install newer Linux kernel from backports to run graphical mode:

$ sudo -i
# echo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-backports main > /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt update
# apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64

This should give something like linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.8-amd64 and it should work.

WiFi

The WiFi requires the firmware-iwlwifi package. The version from Debian buster is not new enough. You can try the version from backports, or get the newest firmware set from upstream git:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
$ sudo cp linux-firmware/iwlwifi-* /lib/firmware/
