I've verified this bug using the following procedure: a) For all the required series, download the "debian-installer" source package and all of its build dependencies; b) Modify the build/config/amd64.cfg to use the -proposed version of the kernel for the series you're verifying; c) Run make "build_netboot" to create the installer images; d) Check the generated initrd.gz to see if the kernel there contains the right module.
The results from my testing: For Xenial: # zcat initrd.gz | cpio -tdm | grep iwlmvm lib/modules/4.4.0-167-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/iwlmvm.ko For Bionic: # zcat initrd.gz | cpio -tdm | grep iwlmvm lib/modules/4.15.0-68-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/iwlmvm.ko For Disco: # zcat initrd.gz | cpio -tdm | grep iwlmvm lib/modules/5.0.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/iwlmvm.ko For Eoan: # zcat initrd.gz | cpio -tdm | grep iwlmvm lib/modules/5.3.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/iwlmvm.ko Cheers, Guilherme ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-disco verification-needed-eoan verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done-bionic verification-done-disco verification-done-eoan verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848236 Title: Add installer support for iwlmvm adapters Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Disco: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Some wireless Intel cards that use the iwlmvm driver are not available during installation. [Test Case] Boot up the Ubuntu installer on a system with an iwlmvm adapter, and try using the wireless connection. [Fix] Add the missing sub-module to debian.master/d-i/nic-modules [Regression Potential] As we're including a new sub-module, this change makes the installer susceptible to bugs present in the iwlmvm driver. Other than that, this change should not introduce any new regressions as it doesn't change any driver code.
