Univention Bugzilla – Bug 35406
Include (non-free) firmware files
Last modified: 2018-02-28 16:54:36 CET
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.
I think we are allowed to include the non-free firmware files.
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.
