Description claire robinson 2014-01-17 09:41:11 CET

I thought I had already created a bug for this but couldn't find it so maybe just mentioned on the pad previously.

During installation from Live ISOs it shouldn't remove network firmware/tools which could be needed afterwards.

Currently they remove these, which they probably should not..

b43-fwcutter
b43-openfwwf
atmel-firmware
speedtouch-firmware
zd1211-firmware
isdn4k-utils

maybe also rfkill

if _your_ box don't need them they get removed, I don't see the issue,

You have a bcm or modem that was not working after ?

It's to enable usb wifi & networking kit to be used which isn't necessarily present when installing. I don't think we install them all by default with the classical isos yet but we shouldn't deliberately remove them when using the live isos.
