Comments/Problems:

During the Debian Install: Network Page

Actual:

The debian installer seems to only provide WPS and WPS2 as key pair options.

Currently under Gnome-Settings WPA3-Personal is a supported option for configuring WPA3 after bypassing the installer with WPA2.


Fix:

The debian installer supports WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 as key pair options


Please also note the installer reports using CDROM yet I used gnome-disk to write the medium to a flash disk drive.



<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments

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.
