Package: installation-reports
Severity: grave

Boot method: CD
Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-sq-di-rc1-i386-netinst.iso

When running the installer on a D510MO-mainboard computer the non-free
driver rtl81168d-1.fw is requested.  The driver is not provided in the
firmware tarball packages. Google shows no hits for this file name,
but some postings point to r8168-8.020.00.tar.bz on the Realtek site,
but of course I cannot compile the driver on an uninstalled system :-(

Regards

JSB

Version: 0.28

rtl8168d-1.fw was added to the firmware-realtek package in version 0.28.
Realtek's official firmware format is different from the version I
proposed to use, so it requires a driver update which will be included
in Debian 6.0.2.

Please note that the firmware file only provides a bug fix for the
network controller.  In many cases, the controller and the driver will
work correctly without it.
