However, as before, the installer still complaints about the missing iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode iwlwifi-6000-6.ucode Actually, it turns out that despite complaints the wireless works. [...] The iwlwifi driver currently supports firmware API versions 4-6 for these devices. It will request the file for the latest supported version and then fall back to earlier versions. However, the latest version that has actually been released is 4, so we expect the requests for versions 6 and then 5 to fail. I assume the installer reports any failed request, and it is probably not easy to detect that this failure is harmless. Therefore I've committed a patch to the driver which we can carry until this is sorted out upstream.

The files you have written have different names, namely, g2a is a part of the file names. The installer asks for files without g2a. Are you asking me to try the files as they are or to rename them before? Jaakov. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
