Bug#940528: debian-installer: B43 Firmware Not Found or Installed
Package: debian-installer
Version: Buster 10
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
The following notes a number of installer problems.
I attempted to install Buster on Dell Studio XPS with debian-
live-10.1.0-amd64-xfce+non-free.
During install there is a notice of a need for B43 firmware. But while the
firmware is supposed to be included, the installer cannot find it.
Worse, when swapping out the flash drive for another with the firmware
directory on it, it still cannot see it and cannot come back from the original
installer drive is reinserted.
Currently, the connection to the network is slow to connect. It is assumed
that it is because of this reason.
