We ship /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode in linux-firmware, which is also what the module advertises:
$ modinfo iwlwifi|grep 6000 firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode This is what udev's userspace helper is looking at, so that finds the file just fine. The interesting question here is why the kernel wants to load requests iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode. I. e. where does the -5 come from? It seems the in-kernel loader and the "firmware:" module field are doing something different? ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398458 Title: kernel fails to load iwlwifi firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1398458/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
