There's an error message that's bugging me at every boot: [ 5.178355] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: firmware: agent aborted loading iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode (not found?)
Indeed, it's not installed; firmware-iwlwifi in testing/unstable has an
older version, and the driver does fall back to that:
[ 5.183453] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: firmware: agent loaded
iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode into memory
[ 5.183459] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 17.168.5.3 build
42301
We do have the newer version in experimental:
* iwlwifi: Add Intel Wireless 6005/6205 firmware version 18.168.6.1 (ABI 6)
(Closes: #697473)
- Add support for WoWLAN and P2P
This doesn't seem to be that important, and I've not noticed any
problems with the current firmware version.
The error message is really my fault for fiddling with the firmware
error logging; the driver would otherwise be quiet about this. Maybe
there should be a way for those drivers with a fallback to suppress
firmware loading error messages.
More importantly, will the installer complain about this unavailable
firmware file (as in #689416)?
Ben.
