Fresh install - Debian 12 netinst. The installer happily connected to wifi, but after reboot the system doesn't.
I did some reading up, but hit hurdle everywhere.
ifconfig and rfkill are not avaiableI also read on multiple forums that iwconfig/iw thing supports WEP only, but 'iwlist wlp4s0 auth' shows the interface supports WPA & WPA2.
Resorted to wpa,There is a service called 'ifup@wlp4s0.service' which seems to start and exit.
I turn the radio on/off/on again and restart the service to see following status (active/exited).

At this point I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated. TIA.
