Bug#752701: initramfs-tools: Does not load firmware for in kernel wireless drivers

This is a general problem that I have had now with three different wireless drivers. The problem is that the built in wireless driver starts working before the disk file systems have been mounted, and hence the firmware is not available. It is a bug, not a matter of a user setting. Whether the solution adopted lies with the initramfs or somewhere else is something for developers to decide.

Bug#752701: initramfs-tools: Does not load firmware for in kernel wireless drivers
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109.1 Severity: normal After compiling and installing a kernel using the latest source in stable (linux-source (3.2+46)) the wireless does not work. The kernel is compiled with all required drivers built in, i.e. no modules, including the RTL8195SE driver. The firmware-realtek package is installed. This kernel uses an initramfs (there does not seem to be any choice about this). I cannot find any evidence of a wireless driver or firmware being included in the initramfs. I have the same problem on another computer with a different make of wireless chip. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.57-20140624 root=UUID=ae785b86-8e94-49f1-959b-39f3f4faac09 ro snd-hda-intel.index=0 snd-hda-intel.model=samsung-n120 snd-virmidi.index=1 quiet -- resume RESUME=/dev/sda5 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 ext2 vfat msdos iso9660 udf -- lsmod -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox dmsetup keymap klibc kmod thermal udev -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.57-20140624 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-0.1 ii klibc-utils2.0.1-3.1 ii kmod 9-3 ii module-init-tools 9-3 ii udev 175-7.2 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.20.0-7 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
