Again, this is not a workaround, this is the only fix there will be for
that bug. The only thing that may change in the kernel to make this
easier is that it will do structured logging so in theory you don't need
to use grep, cut, etc. In practice, as this is all shell

Looking at dmesg might fail if something is spamming it and the message

Looking at dmesg might fail if something is spamming it and the message
drops out of the ring buffer. Maybe it would be better to look in syslog?
I am aware of it. I do believe the new method is a huge step forward
and am unsure if it is worth it to use the syslog instead. If

isenkram-cli package to install needed firmware packages into
/target/, and it seem to work well there. :)

This approach keep the non-functioning code and add two new

and one parsing the dmesg output. The union from

I noticed this bug was mentioned as a regression in the Jessie
installer, and thought I should have a look at how this could be
improved from the hw-detect side.
The following patch replaces the code looking in
/dev/.udev/firmware-missing and /run/udev/firmware-missing for firmware

The idea is to parse kernel logs.
OK, that might work too. Is the idea to use the output from 'dmesg'?
Who is implementing it? Is there a draft patch somewhere?
