I do not know to add a packages of the non-free repo during installation.
Do you have any hint or idea?

See https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/u...ding-firmware/ for images with non-free packages and
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList for adding after installation.

Oh come on, it's a simple utility owned by the same package that owns "lspci":

Code:

sudo update-pciids

I didn't read the whole thread, but finding a distro that contains non-free packages OOTB might not be easy. Best bet: Linux Mint, I'd say.
