Re: [Bookworm] installer stops due to missing wifi firmware

I tried with these 2 installers:
7da925a34f6f7ab6e39ad64514139afb  debian-bookworm-DI-alpha2-amd64-DVD-1.iso
547c0e2f85ec04ffec6d08a1e84c64e6
 debian-bookworm-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso

both contain firmware-misc-nonfree_20230117-2_all.deb
which is, I guess, where it's trying to load the firmware from.
There's a newer version of the firmware in testing though:
firmware-misc-nonfree_20230210-4_all.deb

I noticed there's a second installer in the *snapshots* section, it also
fails to load the firmware but the *installation continues correctly* to
the next step
aa5e3fe762300ba87fce77a6bf260a3e  debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso

Regards

Do not let me induce you to satisfy my curiosity, from an expectation, that
I shall gratify yours. What I may judge proper to conceal, does not concern
myself alone.
