There has already been a small discussion regarding isenkram in 2017 here, which lead to nothing, sadly... I have played around with isenkram a bit, and while it looked promising on the first glance (it has an 'isenkram-autoinstall-firmware' script, which could just do what we want), it seems that isenkram has the same problem regarding graphics cards as the installer itself: its detection is based on loaded kernel modules. But in the installer environment (during installation) we don't have those kernel modules for graphics cards. So, isenkram does not prompt for installing such firmware, when called inside of the installer :-(( Petter: please correct me, if I am wrong here! Since the usb.ids database is included into isenkram, I wonder if doing similar for pci.ids could help us here?
