For example, my NIC uses (as seen by dmesg): r8169 :03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw and my old buster installation on this machine has that file at: $ ls -l /buster/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4896 Aug 22 2019 /buster/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw $ (/buster is where I mounted the old buster root filesystem, readonly, when bullseye is running.) My bullseye has: $ ls -l /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4896 Jul 25 2021 /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw $ and cmp shows that the two versions are identical, despite the timestamps. Just take care to create any subdirectories required (like the rtl_nic here). Cheers, David.
