PC:
Lenovo Flex 15
network card: Intel Dual band AC 8265
CPU: i7-7500U Processor
512gbs SSD

I have seen many threads created about this issue, where the installer cannot identify the network card, due to missing firmware.
I have tested adding exit 0 to /bin/check-missing-firmware
I have added the firmware to the USB, yet the installer still doesn't recognize the card
I have tried booting into the Live OS, and can connect to the internet from there.
I saw many people installing Kali from the live OS, but that option doesn't seem to exist.
I am booting from a USB, set up with the dd command.
The installer cannot complete due to not being able to connect to a network.
Any and all help is appreciated!
