Hendrik, please excuse my ignorance. But after an install and before
the resboot, I bring up a terminal and do

# dpkg -i linux-firmware-nonfree
/bin/sh: dpkg: not found

dpkg is not in /bin/ and
# echo $PATH includes /bin

~ # dpkg -s linux-firmare-nonfree
- /bin/sh: dpkg: not found

So without apt and without dpkg, how do I insall the missing pacjage.
In anyj casea, why do I need them with ethernet?
