Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal


Today's daily netinst image was put on a USB stick together with a second
partition to hold firmware. The intention was to test installing Debian
over a WPA wireless connection. It turned out to be more interesting than
I had anticipated!

The wireless device is a SpeedTouch 121g Wireless USB Adapter, which uses
the p54usb driver and requires firmware isl3887usb. This combination
works well on a machine running Sid.

'set -x' was added to /bin/ethdetect and /bin/checking-missing-firmware
after loading the installer components. 'Detect network hardware' went
ok (there were no messages about missing firmware) and the next item in
the menu was presented.

Problem: there was no wlan0 interface offered. 'Configure the network'
jumped straight to offering to set up a DHCP connection. The install can
be continued with a wlan0 interface by reloading the p54usb module.

Here are some excepts from the syslog, which is attached to this mail,

The driver is loaded:

  Nov 13 12:51:53 kernel: [  543.914487] usb 1-2: (p54usb) cannot load firmware isl3887usb (-2)!
  Nov 13 12:51:53 kernel: [  543.923108] p54usb: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -2
  Nov 13 12:51:53 kernel: [  543.923151] usbcore: registered new interface driver p54usb

ethdetect finds eth0 but not wlan0. Why, I don't know, but the 'ip set
link ...' lines in check-missing-firmware will not help to load the
firmware:

  Nov 13 12:52:03 main-menu[265]: (process:4114): + check-missing-firmware eth0

Why does the driver think isl3887usb_bare is required? Firstly, it's not
needed on my Sid machine; secondly, 'modinfo p54usb' doesn't mention it:

  Nov 13 12:51:54 check-missing-firmware: missing firmware files (isl3887usb isl3887usb_bare) for usbcore usbcore

Firmware found:

  Nov 13 12:51:55 check-missing-firmware: copying loose file isl3887usb from '/media' to '/lib/firmware'

Finally:

  Nov 13 12:52:03 main-menu[265]: (process:4114): + modprobe -r usbcore
  Nov 13 12:52:03 main-menu[265]: (process:4114): FATAL: Module usbcore is in use.

This isn't very healthy! Surely a bug? If p54usb had been modprobed I
most likely wouldn't be writing this report.

The configuring of WPA/WPA2? That went splendidly!

   * discover-mac-io.sh: Detect OHare, Heathrow/Paddington, and KeyLargo ATA
     controllers to support transition from formerly compiled-in ide-pmac driver
     to pata_macio module. Ref: #636269.

   [ Joey Hess ]
   * check-missing-firmware.sh: Add a special case for USB devices, for
     which the devpath provided from firmware.agent claims to be for the
     usbcore module. Search through subdirectories of the devpath to find
     the actual driver module for the USB hardware. Closes: #648631
