Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

On first install of Debian, the firmware is not present because it is part of the non-free package.
However, the module keeps asking for its firmware (through udev?), which fills the log for no purpose.
This can be stopped by rmmod'ing the concerned module, however I believe this is not the best policy, the module should perform its request only once.

The driver asks for firmware every time something tries to bring the
wireless interface up.  Perhaps Network Manager was doing this
repeatedly.  I don't know.

[...]

No, it should not.  If you install the firmware then try to bring the
interface up again, it should work.  You are requesting that it stay
broken!
