Detection of problems with Wi-Fi hardware

Problems with Wi-Fi are unfortunately quite common in Tails and Linux in general.

To help troubleshoot hardware compatibility issues with Wi-Fi interfaces, the Tor Connection assistant now reports when no Wi-Fi hardware is detected.

Changes and updates

• Update Tor Browser to 14.0.7.

• Update the Tor client to 0.4.8.14.

Fixed problems

• Detect partitioning errors also when Tails is started for the first time. (#20797)

  This solves some failures when creating the Persistent Storage on a new Tails USB stick.

• Fix the Configure and Show Log buttons in the notification when installing additional software fails. (#20781)
