Dear Maintainer,

and gave a long list of available ethernet drivers, none of which seemed to
be relevant.

Checking dmesg in a Debian 13 running system from an existing rootfs I see:

Qualcomm Atheros AR8031/AR8033 2188000.ethernet-1:01: attached PHY driver
(mii_bus:phy_addr=2188000.ethernet-1:01, irq=POLL)

So I think that adding this driver to the SD image should fix the issue.

hd-media SD card images do not contain network drivers. Network drivers
are provided by nic*-modules udeb packages included in installation ISO
images.

IIUC the driver for this PHY is at803x. It is included in
nic-shared-modules udeb which is present in the netinst ISO image.

Maybe what is missing is the *ethernet* driver ? Can you find which one
is used in the running system ?

Is this the system installed with the hd-media SD card image ?
If yes, can you post the compressed /var/log/installer/syslog ?
Else, can you relaunch the installer up to network detection, launch an
installer shell, check if the fec module is loaded and try to load it if
it is not ?
