Machine: Custom PC with an X870E Aorus Master motherboard.
I've noticed the networking on this board (5Gb/s LAN, Wifi 7) seems to cause some issues with Debian, this install issue included.
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
Memory: 2 x 48Gb Crucial Pro DDR5 @ 5600 MT/s
Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred>
This is from the live system (on USB) which I used to run these commands, so I'm not sure how useful it is. When I encounter this error, the regular installer is on the USB not a live system.

Comments/Problems: Graphical installer freezes at the 'Detect network hardware' step. Cannot move the mouse. The Debian 12 installer works, but cannot find the network hardware so I have to install the drivers manually. Debian 12 and Debian 13 live systems also work.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the installer
system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system under
/var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.

Had the same issues with the same motherboard with the 13.5 and 13.6
installers.

Turned out to be the wireless driver, denylisting the ath12k driver made
the installer functional.

The current Forky installer also works on this hardware without issues, so
the issue has been fixed upstream in the meanwhile, but not backported. Did
not test with any previous versions of Debian.
