Bug#773344: cdrom: Debian installer fails to load firmware-realtek
Package: cdrom
I am trying to install both debian-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso and load
the driver from usb thumb drive and from
firmware-7.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso already containing the appropriate
firmware for my wireless asus usb-n10 adapter which is firmware-realtek.
None of the two options is able to detect wireless network adapter.
I did try other live linux distros and i had success having the firmware
automatically loaded before installation begins.
I would expect nowdays to be able to load firmware for network quite
easy without problems. Having the linux driver provided by the
manufacturer loaded instead of debian packaged firmware would be great.
I have an intel DG965WH mobo.
