Bug#1029116: hw-detect: check-missing-firmware fails will attempting to reload kernel module on MT7922 WiFi card



Hi Stuart,

and thanks for your report.

This wouldn't be the first issue about this modprobe dance, but I'm not
sure why the kernel would go haywire… I'm definitely looking into
firmware related issues these days, so maybe I'll be able to reproduce
it somewhere, and/or find a different solution to account for the newly
installed firmware (current plan would be to keep hw-detect ± as is
while introducing support for non-free-firwmare).


Cheers,
