Package: firmware-ralink Version: 0.14+lenny1 Severity: important
Hi there (and 'bonjour' from France) I recently installed a brand new « Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 "Lenny" - Official i386 kde-CD Binary-1 20090413-01:12 » on a « Packard-Bell EasyNote MH-45 ». This piece of hard includes a « RT73 USB Wireless LAN Card » that is managed by the rt73usb module (and some other stuff like rt2x00lib) At the end of the installation procedure (and after a reboot), the modules are correctly loaded, but... In spite of the fact I choosed to include "non-free" software, and also that the installation procedure fetched packages from the internet via the ethernet link, the package 'firmware-ralink_0.14+lenny1_all.deb' was not installed. I even ran an "aptitude update" and "aptitude dist-upgrade" but the firmware package was not fetched and installed. I had to fetch it with another machine since the ethernet link was broken (did not have enough time to investigate more...) after reboot, copy it via an USB stick and install it with 'dpkg -i <...>'. All work fine now... I think this is a bug because the wifi link was unusable since the wifi card was not initialized. Please note that this bug is not filed with the machine that caused the trouble, so the information below may not be accurate (even if it also run a Debian Lenny).
