Error message: Possible missing firmware during linux-image upgrade
My Debian OS (7.5) has the default linux-image-3.2.0.4-amd64 installed.
Using Synaptic, I installed the non-free firmware-realtek.
What I did next was to upgrade the default linux-image to 3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 using its equivalent Wheezy backport.
During the upgrading process, the same error message popped up multiple times, stating a possible missing firmware rtl8168g-3.fw, rtl8168d-2.fw, rtl8169e-1.fw....
I am surprised linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 was unable to pick up the already installed firmware-realtek.
Is this a bug?
What should I have done under the above circumstances?
