Package: debian-installer
Version: Debian Installer Jessie RC 1 release
Severity: important
When loading non-free firmware for installation of iwlwifi the debian-installer
looks for the wrong .ucode file. I have the following card:
09:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor
Peak]
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 BGN
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort-
<MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 42
Region 0: Memory at e1d00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
And during install it gets correctly identified as a module that needs
additional firmware. After spending some time getting the partition table on
the usb key correct(Another bug I didn't know about), I finally was able to
make a usb key with the nonfree firmware. It seems like the installer doesn't
know it's supposed to look for iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode. In the installer log I get
things like these:
check-missing-firmware: looking for firmware file iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode
requested by iwlwifi
However, on the curses display it never says anything about the 1000.5 file.
Instead, it looks like this:
check-missing-firmware: missing firmware files (iwlwifi-1000-4.ucode
iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode
iwlwifi-1000-4.ucode iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode
iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode iwlwifi-1000-4.ucode iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode
iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode)
Which led me to guess that it doesn't actually look for the 1000.5 file. I
downloaded the firmware-iwlwifi package and manally copied the
iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode file and gave it names iwlwifi-1000-4.ucode and downward
until I had all of the ones included in the list shown above.(Maybe I just
needed 1000.4 but I wasn't quite sure)
After rebuilding the deb with these files in it, installation went along as
normal.

Source: hw-detect
Binary: hw-detect ethdetect disk-detect driver-injection-disk-detect archdetect
Architecture: source amd64 all
Version: 1.108
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: high
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
Changed-By: Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org>
Description:
archdetect - Hardware architecture detector (udeb)
disk-detect - Detect disk drives (udeb)
driver-injection-disk-detect - Detect OEM driver injection disks (udeb)
ethdetect - Detect network hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
Closes: 779546
Changes:
hw-detect (1.108) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Make sure not to look at past lines in dmesg (Closes: #779546):
- If user supplies firmware on a USB stick, missing firmware detection
happens again, and if dmesg hasn't received enough lines to get rid of
old “firmware: failed to load” entries, the situation looks like it
hasn't improved.
- To avoid such a loop, note the timestamp of the last dmesg line after
having scanned for such lines, and in case missing firmware detection
runs again, use this timestamp to filter out previous lines in case it's
still present in the new dmesg output; or use the whole dmesg output if
that timestamp has vanished.
- Tested successfully on bare metal with iwlwifi.
