found what seemed like the correctly named files, downloaded and placed them in /lib/firmware/i915/ Now update-initramfs runs with no errors, but when I plug in my USB rtl8188 wifi device 1. No WiFi connection 2. various (e.g. firefox, wavemon) do not start, terminal locks and the only recourse is a reboot.
So I've definitely done something wrong.
