Hi Lars,
from /var/log/bsdinstall_log :
/DEBUG: f_getvar: var=[text] value=[wifi-firmware-mediatek-kmod-mt792x] r=0
pkg: No packages available to install matching
'wifi-firmware-mediatek-kmod-mt792x' have been found in the repositories/
-------------------
Installer made a guess from info found on Motherboard and
tried to install a firmware that does not exist . ( yet )
H/W is the ASROCK TRX50 motherboard. with MediaTek 802.11ax
Wi-Fi 6E Module.
Is the bsdinstaller expected to guess at what Firmware can be
installed ?
fwget(8) already knows about it but the install media likely only has the
firmware
for drivers which we already support in that release (tried to be conservative
at
some point).
Does it just give an error and move on? I believe I wrote the bsdinstall bits
in a way that it installs firmware one by one just for these cases where a
firmware package does not exist it will still install all the others. Not sure
if that all still is the case?
