[Impact]
Some wireless Intel cards that use the iwlmvm driver are not available during installation.
[Test Case]
Boot up the Ubuntu installer on a system with an iwlmvm adapter, and try using the wireless connection.
[Fix]
Add the missing sub-module to debian.
[Regression Potential]
As we're including a new sub-module, this change makes the installer susceptible to bugs present in the iwlmvm driver. Possible regressions due to this change would more likely affect the iwlwifi driver, possibly preventing some wireless adapters from working correctly during installation. A more serious regression could dig up a faulty corner case in the iwlmvm driver that triggers in the installer environment. That said, we do have users with the necessary hardware available to help us test and validate the change.
