Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.43
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
Usertags: debian-edu

When installing Debian Edu Jessie on a Thinkpad X200, we provide all the
firmware debs available from ftp.debian.org in /firmware/ on the ISO.
Yet a question show up asking for more firmware, as the files
iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode, iwlwifi-5000-3.ucode and iwlwifi-5000-4.ucode are
missing.

In the changelog for firmware-iwlwifi I find that iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode
was added in version 0.15 to close bug #497717.  I find no similar
comment about the iwlwifi-5000-3.ucode and iwlwifi-5000-4.ucode files.
Were they ever part of this firmware package?  What happened with the
iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode file?  Is it possible to reinsert it, and perhaps
also add the two other requested files?

The second number in the filename is the API version and the driver
usually supports a range of different versions.  It will request the
highest version it supports; then if that fails it will sequentially
request earlier versions.

I try to include only the highest version that stable, testing and
unstable kernels will request.  There is no need to add any others.

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.
