• Can 'testing' firmware-nonfree packages be added to bullseye-backports

    From Kevin P. Fleming@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 20 16:30:01 2022
    I'm using Bullseye but with the kernel from bullseye-backports, both
    to help testing and also because it handles my Lenovo docking station
    better than the 5.10 kernel does.

    While trying to track down some strange suspend+CPU fan behavior, I
    noticed that when the kernel initializes the i915 iGPU, it complains
    that it can't find the firmware it is expecting. This is because the
    kernel is in the backports repo, but the firmware packages are not.

    If it's not possible for the firmware packages to be included in the
    backports repo then I can configure my system to grab them from
    'testing', although at that point there may not be any value in using
    the kernel packages from the backports repo... could just using the
    'testing' kernel packages too.
