Description Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2014-07-18 08:49:22 CEST
The UCS-4 installer should include the (non-free) firmware files.
If this is not possible for legal reasons, we need to document how a customer can easily build a custom DVD with the non-free firmware files included.
Comment 1 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2014-07-21 09:15:02 CEST
I think we are allowed to include the non-free firmware files.
Comment 2 Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2014-07-22 06:26:52 CEST
We already build and distribute firmware-nonfree in UCS 3.x. The package has already been built for 4.0 as part of the Wheezy build.

Bug #33844: firmware-nonfree_0.43.7.201409121415 was imported and built

r53640 | Bug #35406 DVD: Include (non-)free firmware files on DVD

Package: univention-dvd
Version: 0.2.0-15.16.201409121557
Branch: ucs_4.0-0


Successfully tested on my new notebook, which needs iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode, which was provided by /firmware/firmware-iwlwifi_0.43.7.201409121415_all.deb and copied to /var/cache/firmware/

"hw-detect/load_firmware" is not yet pre-seeded: the installer might ask the user if it is okay to load firmware. It didn't happen for me.

At least the installation using a wire-less interfaces failed - it might be related to the missing crda.

OK, firmware not-free packages are on the installation DVD.
