Description of problem: I am not sure what component gets this report... it is about selecting the right kernel modules to include in installer images. Please reassign if there is a different component responsible for kernel builds for installation. On new Intel Montevina-based laptops such as Thinkpad X200, the ethernet is disabled due to the e1000e bug that affects safety of the firmware. These laptops often also have newer Intel 5100AGN or 5300AGN wireless NICs, but the iwlagn driver is not available in the installer. I have seen the driver in previous rawhide installs, and it works, so it would be nice to include it and allow some network-based installation on such laptops affected by the e1000e bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 10-Beta kernel, initrd.img, and provide install.img path 2. Step through installation 3. Get stuck where installer wants a network interface Actual results: There is no listing for iwlagn in the available driver list. Expected results: Wireless is automatically detected, or at least the iwlagn driver is on the long list of drivers to be chosen manually. Additional info:
Okay I have added the firmware to the install images, but I don't see the module in the latest kernel package so we need to make sure it's getting built. Reassigning to kernel for that portion.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
