Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 Version: 2.6.26-13 Severity: wishlist Hello,
On first install of Debian, the firmware is not present because it is part of the non-free package. However, the module keeps asking for its firmware (through udev?), which fills the log for no purpose. This can be stopped by rmmod'ing the concerned module, however I believe this is not the best policy, the module should perform its request only once. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux
