Dear Maintainer, This bugreport relates to the brcmfmac kernel module and the firmware filename that it probes for during load. It looks like this may have been a cause of some problems reported in bugs #989593, #1029843 (this bug) and #1035392. The last of those three bugs is an installation-report of mine, and as far as I can tell the problem is that when the affected system (an RPi) was configured without devicetree support in its UEFI bootloader, the kernel module was unable to determine a precise filename and used some fallback logic to determine one approximately here: https://sources.debian.org/src/linux/6.1.25-1/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/common.c/?hl=487#L487 Please let me know if I can provide any further details to help track this down. Thank you, James
