Today I had a look at this issue, and tested a bit. A new package was

I changed the hw-detect code that take care of the firmware loading,

Yesterday, I figured out a workaround for this, and I wanted to
share the solution with the rest of you, and ask if perhaps the
default behaviour of debian-cd or d-i (hw-detect) should change to
make this workaround unneeded.
Further testing of this fix proved that it is

I think the problem with that is that including the firmware on the
CD in the first place is in contradiction with Debian's current
policy not to include firmware in the distribution. The current
firmware support is very explicitly limited to support loading from
external media

Actually, something causes main-menu to crash if I adjust mountmedia

Probably because the CD is already mounted

P.S.: should this be moved to a proper bug?
Yes. Patch for hw-detect submitted in #574116.
Happy hacking,

That source package does not contain all available firmware, FWIW.
You're missing at least zd1211-firmware and
atmel-firmware. debian-cd has a list in tasks/firmware.
Btw, tasks/firmware refer to the non-existing package
firmware-ipw3945. Did it change name, go away or is it

In the Debian Edu project, we generate our own CDs with adjustment to
the installer and provided packages. We have also included some
non-free firmware deb packages in the naive hope that d-i would use
them when needed. This has proven to not work, as d-i do not look for
firmware packages in

The problem with making hw-detect look in pool/ is that it does not know
what debs contain firmware. It assumes there will not be too many debs
in the places it looks, and so it examines them all, unpacking them to
find ones that contain the firmware files. If it also looked in
