Package: firmware-ipw2x00 Version: 20160110-1 Severity: important Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer, The firmware-ipw2x00 package in Debian stretch contains firmware for Intel Wireless Pro 2100/2200 devices, but the firmware does not match what the driver in kernel 4.6 requires. The package has version 3.0 from upstream, but version 3.1 is required. Without the the correct firmware, the driver will report lots of ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. errors, and the wireless card is barely usable, if at all. Manually installing the firmware from upstream resolves this problem. Please update the package so it has the correct firmware. Thank you. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages firmware-ipw2x00 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 firmware-ipw2x00 recommends no packages.
