Assuming the '55' stands for max 55 chars, that could be an issue? > Even if hw-detect didn't misbehave because of spaces in filenames (i.e. It turns out that spaces (and or backslashes to escape them) seems to be an issue for the Debian scripts used to make the Debian firmware-nonfree packages too. See https://bugs.debian.org/1035505 for details. Once that is fixed, I can submit my MR to add those missing symlinks. > For Bookworm, given we expect the firmware package to be adjusted to > include those symlinks, what if hw-detect had some little cheatsheet, Seems doable. I'm not going to spend time trying to make that though. I know virtually nothing about d-i/hw-detect internals, so it seems very unwise for me to even try it. Given the (specific) subject at hand, you won't be surprised that there's also a motivational issue ;-) Cheers, Diederik
