| Subject | non-free firmware not found despite unofficial CD |
| Message-ID | <uyevv-2ll-3@gated-at.bofh.it> |
First I downloaded this ISO:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/i386/iso-cd/firmware-9.2.0-i386-netinst.iso
Then I burned it onto a CD-R, and booted into
the installer.
The computer is a HP Compaq 6720s laptop.
However the installer doesn't get far before it
says the network needs nonfree firmware, namely
b43/ucode13.fw
b43-open/ucode13.fw
Despite searching explicitly on the CD the
assessment stands.
After that, the network
auto-config/DHCP/connect fail.
What's going on? Is that firmware not included
even in the firmware edition of Debian?
TIA

You are saying this isn't related to the missing firmware? If the firmware is only for WiFi, then it is a whole other issue because I don't care about WiFi!

I erroneously assumed you were installing over wireless because firmware for a wireless chip was asked for. Very silly of me. The firmware question would still be asked if you were installing with a cabled connection. (Were you?). If "yes", the failure to get an IP address via DHCP has nothing to do with missing wireless chip firmware. -- Brian.

I have another Debian computer there which doesn't have an Ethernet problem save for I run 'dhclient eth0' every time the computer is rebooted to get Internet back up. It is the same connection, even the same cable :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573

Whatever problem he had had nothing to do with wireless. Whatever makes you think it did? As for following up with a solution - don't keep your hopes high. -- Brian.

Well, just the other thing that affects my thinking (iirc, this is the first time I chimed in on this thread)--I would just as soon have fewer electromagnetic waves passing through (or into) my body. IIRC, the higher the frequency, the higher the energy in those waves--thus the more likely to have an effect.

Do as I do, RH: avoid space travel when at all possible (ionizing variety of EM waves). I know, I know--you really don't feel like canceling those Mars vacation plans, but there you go.

We surmise your computer is connected to a router by an ethernet cable. Boot the installer in expert mode and go through the first two screens. Say "no" to providing firmware (it all seems wireless related and you have no desire for wireless). Eventually you will be asked for what interface to use. We want to know everything you see on the screen at that point. Choose an interface and move on. Is this where it fails? Let us know what you see. Stop, switch to console 2 and do 'more /var/log/syslog'. Anything towards the end of that log? -- Brian.

I managed to install it by unplugging the Ethernet cable, moving the computer to another place, and instead using a smartphone with USB-tethering to provide Internet. Now one wonders, what will happen when I plug in an Ethernet cable once more and expect Internet to work? Will it? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573

But all seriousness aside I don't see many people having trouble with the network card on this oldish laptop (82562GT 10/100 Network Connection (driver:e1000)? Here http://www.linlap.com/hp-compaq_6720s it says: Ethernet Yes With current BIOS works out of the box, else see Notes The notes say: Ethernet You must upgrade to the newest BIOS, because the F.07< bioses, were known to have trouble with ethernet drivers in Linux (and also in Windows XP). After that you don't have to add `noacpi` options on boot, as it is said in some forums. You do have an HP Compaq 6720s, right? At any rate, good luck. -- "A simpering Bambi narcissist and a thieving, fanatical Albanian dwarf."
