Description of problem: After booting a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 from the official Fedora 25 netinst boot image, the network section only shows the wired device but not the (physically) also present Intel (R) Ultimate N Wifi Link 5300 AGN wireless device. The 'dmesg' utility reports a failure in loading the corresponding firmware which is claimed to be missing. As a consequence, a network install is not possible using a wireless network. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-25.20.8-1.fc25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Lenovo Thinkpad T400 from the official Fedora 25 netinst boot image. 2. Try to connect to a wireless network. Actual results: No wireless device is listed by the installer. Expected results: The Intel 5300 AGN wireless controller is listed and functional. Additional info: When booting from the corresponding official live meda, wifi is working both for the live session and the installed system.
I guess something could be wrong with the firmware loading - so reassigning.
Does this device work now? Having the dmesg attached would have been helpful.

An alleged general absence of wifi support in the Fedora 25 netinst boot image has been reported previously in bug 1397582.
