Bug#588407: debian-installer: d-i copies firmware file to wrong location
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
I have installed Squeeze on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop from a i386 netinst CD downloaded on Tuesday last week. During network setup d-i pointed out that the firmware file e100/d101m_ucode.bin is missing. After I put that onto a USB drive d-i copied it to /lib/firmware where the driver still could not find it. Only after I moved the file to /lib/firmware/e100 the network setup went fine. I had to do that a second time during installation, unfortunately I don't remember at which stage.
