I’m having a problem - or an inconvenience, really, with my 12th gen i5 laptop. I’m running Debian Sid without any notable issues except that on boot, I get a message saying that the firmware for the wireless card failed to load. It then falls back to a previous version, and loads it without issue.
I planned to copy the requested files to /lib/firmware/ from the official repo. I cloned the linux-firmware respository here, but the files that it’s looking for do not exist (iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-72.ucode & iwl-debug-yoyo.bin). Any ideas where I can go to find these files?
The wireless card seems to work fine anyway, so I wonder if this is really a problem that needs fixing, but I figured it’s worth posting about to see if anyone else has already found a solution.
Interestingly, when running kernel 5.19, the error message doubles up - I have no idea why. I’ll include the dmesg output below - apologies if the formatting gets all screwy.
