Hello,

While trying to debug something about wifi during d-i, I actually had
an issue: I had put the content of my /lib/firmware directory on a USB
stick, which happened to be formatted as ext4. d-i was not able to read
from it, even if the ext4-modules udeb was loaded. I had to type
"modprobe ext4" by hand to get firmware files loaded from the stick.
