You have to offer it the firmware in .deb files. I see recent Bullseye i386 installers pick up firmware .deb files in the root of an additional USB stick. I have not experimented with loose files. I prefer the .deb files, as a means of keeping the firmware consistent with the version of Debian being installed. But perhaps d-i can offer both without too much bloat? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
