Hello,
PLEASE : should be possible for you to fix the problem ( 8-) ) described above
to avoid a "Primitive" power down
of a PC if people cannot load the microcode file
"iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode" ???
This is a user mailing list, not a development team list. Not likely anyone here is going to fix the problem.
I think you should file a bug report using the reportbug tool -- the main question is against which package should you file it. I'd suggest either the package containing the firmware, the package containing the driver, or maybe a package for the installer if there is such a thing. Perhaps other members of this list can make a better suggestion of which package the bug should be filed against.
Mark
