I just got a chance to test the new functionality with a new laptop, so here's how it worked for me :-) There is a tarball with firmware available at [1]. Just untar that onto either a floppy or a USB key, either in the root dir or a subdir called /firmware. After that it just worked for me for my wireless. Cheers.

qlogic fibre disks lenny sun blade 1000
Hi, I'm having problems installing Lenny (also Etch) on a sun blade 1000. During installation the disks are not recognized. This is know problem as the firmware is in non-free. For the installation I fix this by doing: udpkg -i firmware-qlogic-di_0.4+etchnhalf.1_all.udeb modprobe -r qla2xxx modprobe qla2xxx After the installation, but before reboot, I chroot into the new system. And do the same. Meaning installing the firmware-qlogic package from non-free. When I then reboot the system it still says it can't find the qlogic firmware! After some time I fall into the initramfs shell I can see that in /lib/firmware the firmware is available. If do modprobe -r qla2xxx modprobe qla2xxx my disks are recognized and I manually mount them. But now I'm stuck. Can anybody help me please.
