Re: not loading non-free firmware in 11.00 network installation debian-installer

See the logs:

    Feb 25 15:44:44 check-missing-firmware: missing firmware files (iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode) for iwlwifi

    …

and various other failures afterwards.

I'm not sure the installation image is available on a decent medium. The
“short read” could be due to problems reading back data from the medium
(initial copy was problematic, or future uses are problematic). I'd
probably try with something else (different CD/DVD, or different USB
stick).

Also, Feb 25 seems strange (even if I reckon you might not be able to
have NTP up and running without networking, I'd expect a reinstall to
know about some less crazy time via the RTC… but then I didn't check the
exact ordering in install steps… just mentioning this in passing since
it caught my eye).


Cheers,
