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

Hi, I just tried this same process with the debian non-free DVD and educational versions with the same results.  My system was installed with an earlier version of debian-installer so where can I locate the installation report on my system as sending this to you might help?  Nick Gawronski

This is the official Debian media installer

Try the unofficial non-free CD : from the lines I've selected, it looks as
if you might be able to install via wired interface without loading firmware.

The lines you quoted above show, that Nick already used the unofficial image
with firmware included.

I guess this lines are related:

However, I have no clue what happens here...
The iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode file is included in firmware-iwlwifi package, so
should also be available on the image in question.
