Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-firmware
Running Ubuntu karmic 9.10 alpha 6 desktop i386, but have tried a livecd for
amd64(which also fails) on same hardware.
Found that /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode and
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode was missing, but
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode present. Tried to symlink ln -s
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode - but
then the module complains that v3 is not supported - see output from dmesg
below.
