I wonder if it didn't realize that the 92 firmware existed and just tried for the 93 firmware. It detected the network interface but looked like it was trying to treat it as a wired ethernet port and ran dhcp on it rather than ask about wifi. That of course did not work. syslog attached. Hopefully that works. I wonder why the firmware package doesn't have the version the kernel is looking for. Perhaps it needs an update? If any changes are made I can definitely try another install to test it. > > Audio requires installing firmware-misc-nonfree for tas2781 firmware. > > After that audio and volume keys and such works fine. > > The installer has provisions to install firmware packages needed by hardware > components, but here I suspect that it requires that the sound driver is > loaded first, and sound drivers are not loaded by default. Definitely possible. Odd that a sound chip needs firmware, but unfortunate that it isn't handled automatically given installing the firmware package needed was the only thing it required to fully work. -- Len Sorensen
