Comment 5 for bug 1047092

The netboot installer includes nic-usb-modules, which includes the zd1211rw driver. Contrary to the reporter's claim, the /lib/firmware directory *is* available (you can check this easily using the shell on Alt-F2), by way of the netboot installer also including nic-firmware. However, while the zd1211 firmware is in the linux-firmware deb, it is not in the nic-firmware udeb.

This will be a simple packaging fix in linux-firmware, so reassigning.
