Title:
ethdetect fails trying to load firmware patch rtl8168d-2.fw
To
This is definitely not the same bug. The firmware in question is *not
included* in the nic-firmware udeb.
Bug #842560 is strictly about failures to load firmware due to a race
when killing udev in the initramfs. The d-i netboot doesn't do this at
all, and the firmware is not there to load in
Attached is the fix for linux-firmware for this issue, which I'll be
uploading to precise shortly. Tim, could you pull this into the git
repo for me?

This needs to be fixed by adding the necessary firmware file to the nic-
firmware udeb. Reassigning to linux-firmware.

The symptoms are identical to 842560, so I'm marking this as a
duplicate. Note that the firmware fails to load right as udev is
transitioning from initrd to rootfs.
