The iwlwifi may fallback to the older firmware version, and that's the missing one. The wildcard approach would be more robust, especially for TW, but the problem is the size of iwlwifi firmware files: it's 44MB in the rpm, and almost same size as installed. Basically the installer needs only the latest ucode for each model, not all versions. Extending the modinfo syntax for ranges is a tempting option. If this can be agreed, it's the best way to go. As a temporary workaround, we may fiddle the exposed MODULE_FIRMWARE() in iwlwifi driver code to match with the currently available one, as you pointed in the second option. This was usually done for SLE/Leap, while for TW it wasn't needed so often... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
