Bug#613822: installation-reports: Squeeze (amd64 and i386) cannot load NIC firmware from USB during installation for Poweredge 2950
Package: installation-reports
Followup-For: Bug #613822
Hi,
I just wanted to add that I had the same problem (the installer could not find
the firmware for my wireless) on my new Thinkpad X220 Tablet. As a workaround,
I ran a shell, mounted the usb stick manually, and then copied the iwlwifi*
firmware to /lib/firmware.
