Translation(s): English - Italiano

Firmware refers to embedded software which controls electronic devices. Well-defined boundaries between firmware and software do not exist, as both terms cover some of the same code. Typically, the term firmware deals with low-level operations in a device, without which the device would be completely non-functional... (read more on Wikipedia).

Devices/Drivers Firmware

Many devices require a firmware to operate. Historically, firmware were built-into the device's ROM or Flash memory, but more and more often, the firmware has to be loaded into the device by the driver during the device initialization.

Some of these firmware are free and open-source, and some of them are non-free (which means that you need to add the non-free and contrib components to /etc/apt/sources.list, see sources.list(5), or apt-howto).

Firmware during the installation

In some cases the installer detects the need for non-free firmware and prompts the user to make the firmware available to the installer to complete the installation, see ipw2200 for an example. In other cases, it does not (601475).

Before starting the installation process on hardware unfamiliar to you, a suggestion is to download the firmware tarball for your installation and have it available on removable storage. When the installer starts, it will automatically find the firmware tarball on the removable storage install the firmware if needed for your hardware. The link to the firmware download for your Debian version is http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/.

Alternatively, there are now alternative versions of the "netinst" CD images being produced that also include all the non-free firmware packages directly - see http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

Once the network is configured, Debian-Installer can fetch firmware from Debian repositories.

Location of the firmwares

The firmware are stored in the following places (see udev's /lib/udev/hotplug.functions and /lib/udev/firmware.agent)

  1. /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) - Firmware provided by a package, specific for a kernel.

  2. /lib/firmware/ - Firmware provided by a package, valid for all kernels.

  3. /usr/local/lib/firmware - Location for manually installed firmware.

  4. /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware - Firmware provided by a package, valid for all kernels

List of firmware in Linux kernel

To find which package provide a given firmware file, you can use this search page:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

Here is a list of Linux modules requiring firmware to operate, generated automatically from Squeeze's linux 2.6.32-5-686 kernel. Some firmware files are packaged for Debian, e.g. within firmware-linux-nonfree.

Note: this list may not be complete (because the firmware name can't be extracted reliably).
