Package: firmware-realtek Version: 0.36 Severity: normal I have an Intel D525MW motherboard (Atom) with a Realtek integrated network card. It doesn't work with the current kernel from testing: linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64 (3.2.23-1) It doesn't print anything special in the syslog: # dmesg | grep r8169 [ 1.495121] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 1.495181] r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 1.495243] r8169 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 1.495354] r8169 0000:01:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X [ 1.496836] r8169 0000:01:00.0: eth0: RTL8168e/8111e at 0xffffc90000330000, e0:69:95:69:91:6c, XID 0c200000 IRQ 44 [ 1.496849] r8169 0000:01:00.0: eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9200 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] But doing "ifup eth0" does nothing: no network, no errors.
Today i've installed the Debian kernel reported here, from experimental and i think it reports the culprit of the problem: - a curses window report that a required firmware is missing: r8169: rtl_nic/rtl_nic_rtl8411-1.fw, rtl_nic/rtl_nic_rtl8402-1.fw - a message before update-grup repeat the concept saying: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5-trunk-amd64 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8411-1.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8402-1.fw for module r8169 run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub 3.5-trunk-amd64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.5-trunk-amd64 Ben, i see that in july you made a commit in the upstream rtl_nic/rtl8402-1.fw. Maybe you know why these firmware are not included in this non-free package. Are there known problem with these? Are they not yet included in the mainline kernel?
