Package: release-notes Severity: important There is at least one report of an user who lost network connectivity during the upgrade, because the firmware for his NIC (e100) was not available anymore.
The release nodes neglect to recommend that the user should make sure the firmware packages are installed. In fact, unless we add a list of the hardware that requires non-free firmware, the release notes would actually have to recommend that the user install BOTH firmware packages unless he is sure he will not need them. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.28 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
