[Bug 860067] Re: Initramfs possibly missing firmware module for rtl 8169 nic

[Matt Eskes]

Hey Tim, sorry for such a long time to respond. I never got the email
from Launchpad. Lemme see what I can find for you.

Upon checking to see if linux-firmware was installed, it seems that, for
some reason, it was not. I am installing it now and will do a force-
reinstall of initramfs-tools to see if that took care of the issue.

Ok, installing linux-firmware seems to have done the trick at fixing
this issue. The next question is this: shouldn't linux-firmware be
flagged dep of initramfs-tools or am I getting too far ahead of myself
here?

Bug description:
  While updating initfs-tools, I saw this error reported upon generation
  of the new ramdisk. I didn't initially notice anything weird since I
  rarely use my ethernet connection on this system. Feel free to email
  me if you would like more info.
