Hi, since we have some kind of a next-generation installer, when it comes to installation of (non-free) firmware, I'm closing all related old bugreports. They have been helpful at the time, when they were filed, however now we have a completely new situation / mechanism in place for this, so let's make a cut now and close such bugs, and let people file new ones with recent installer versions, if they still experience problems. Thanks to all reporters! Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
