Bug#725714: reassign to linux
Control: reassign -1 src:linux
Hi,
as nobody objected to my proposal, I'm reassigning this bug back to linux.
In my opinion FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER should default to no, since the
functionality is not in udev anymore.
Furthermore it seems, that when this functionality was moved to the
kernel, it was not implemented, that the missing firmware files are
written somewhere, which is needed by the Debian installer.
I think this can best be added in firmware_class.c [1], in the places,
where fw_load_from_user_helper is called.
Best regards,
Andreas
