Bug#653471: Re: Bug#653471: installation-reports: Squeeze i386 6.0.3 on EeePC 701 Network

[Richard Zimmer <zimmer.richard@arcor.de>]

Thank you, but the second paragraph of the description says:

If a device driver requests firmware that is not available, debian-installer will display a dialog offering to load the missing firmware. ...

This did not happen. The installer doesn't complain about anything.

Best regards

Richard
