It worked like a charm for me. > Thanks Marcelo, is it correct to assume the Debian Lenny installer places the .fw files in /lib/firmware when it prompts for it during installation? I downloaded the .fw files from your link and placed on the usb stick I install from, so I will try tonight and report back results. I know aptitude can handle it after installing but this intrigues me - the less work to do after installation, the better for me. >On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 12:05 PM, Marco Vaschetto < m.vasche...@snservice.net> wrote: >Sorry, before I misunderstand you, >if you want extract the firmware from the *.deb file do you can use "dpkg-deb --extract name-package.deb /destination/folder" >of course if you have another machine whit Linux , if is possible extract the *.deb files under windows this I didn't know. >If you need some body can extract for you and send by attachment whit e-mail. Thank you Marco. I will attempt to use the .fw file downloaded by the link Marcelo provided; if for some reason that does not work I will use your suggestion. I have several Lenny computers at home available to extract the firmware per your suggestion. Mark
