I don't know how to access that file. Currently, bullseye has version 20210315-3, and the files that I quoted, > > * MediaTek MT7921 hdr firmware, version 20230117170855a > > (mediatek/WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin) > > * MediaTek MT7921 firmware, version 20230117170942 > > (mediatek/WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin) are from a page that's slightly older than the version of the package that it leads to, which you reference here: > There's a newer version of the firmware in testing though: > firmware-misc-nonfree_20230210-4_all.deb > > I noticed there's a second installer in the *snapshots* section, it also > fails to load the firmware but the *installation continues correctly* to > the next step > aa5e3fe762300ba87fce77a6bf260a3e debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso . What version of firmware-misc-nonfree does that include? . Does it try to load the two .bin files listed above? It doesn't help to write "(lots of this)" unless indicating whether any of the failures mention /your/ device name, as opposed to similar-looking ones. It's normal for one module to try loading many .bins before the right one is found. I have noticed that those .bin files vary between packages having different dates: $ ls -GlgR /tmp/202* /tmp/20210315-3: total 792 -rw-r--r-- 1 90464 Jul 25 2021 WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 712832 Jul 25 2021 WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin /tmp/20230210-4: total 796 -rw-r--r-- 1 92192 Mar 11 08:15 WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 719156 Mar 11 08:15 WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1.bin $ I haven't looked at which kernel modules try to load that firmware, and whether they have changed. Cheers, David.
