I'm a barely competent gnu/linux user, but can eventually solve most issues on more than a hundred installs.

Installed Devuan Daedalus on a Lenovo Ideapad 1 15NME (some bestbuy rebranding).
can't make the network card work. downloaded a few of the non-free drivers from the devuan repository.

the network card is a Realtech, device 6852 subsystem 4853.

I will appreciate any assistance, especially from those who have done the same fix.

thanks for your attention,
Mal.
