Patch sent to kernel-team list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2019-October/104710.html
** Description changed:
[Impact]
Some wireless Intel cards that use the iwlmvm driver are not available during
installation.
[Test Case]
Boot up the Ubuntu installer on a system with an iwlmvm adapter, and try
using the wireless connection.
[Fix]
Add the missing sub-module to debian.master/d-i/nic-modules
[Regression Potential]
- As we're including a new sub-module, this change makes the installer
susceptible to bugs present in the iwlmvm driver. Possible regressions due to
this change would more likely affect the iwlwifi driver, possibly preventing
some wireless adapters from working correctly during installation. A more
serious regression could dig up a faulty corner case in the iwlmvm driver that
triggers in the installer environment. That said, we do have users with the
necessary hardware available to help us test and validate the change.
+ As we're including a new sub-module, this change makes the installer
susceptible to bugs present in the iwlmvm driver. Other than that, this change
should not introduce any new regressions as it doesn't change any driver code.
