Re: [Trisquel-users] Difference between Linux-libre kernel and Debian (main) kernel?

[onpon4]

To clarify, when Linux is missing a firmware file that's needed for some  
hardware available, an error message is printed showing the name of the  
firmware file. Linux-libre removes these references, but a side effect of  
this is that it can't even load the firmware if it's available. Debian's  
Linux just removes the firmware, leaving the messages (and the ability to put  
the firmware there yourself) in place.
