Package: debian-installer
Version: debian-6.0.5-i386-cd1.iso
Severity: important

The cd iso installer does not install ndiswrapper correctly. One problem (there
may be more) is that the ndiswrapper.ko file is not installed. The problem is
only with the full cd installer. Using a netinstall version e.g.
debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso where ndiswrapper is downloaded over a wired
internet connection installs ndiswrapper successfully. The problem seems to
extend to other distributions which rely heavily on debian e.g. Linux Mint
Debian Edition (linuxmint-201204-mate-cinnamon-dvd-32bit.iso) which also fails
to install ndiswrapper.ko. The problem seems to have existed for a long time. I
first encountered it several months ago and, then,  I found several references
to the problem on the internet. I gave up on debian in frustration because I
could not get ndiswrapper to work and I needed a network connection to download
ndiswrapper - which is what I needed ndiswrapper for!!!!!!

ndiswrapper was removed in 2020, closing the bug.
