Finding nonfree firmware

[wrecked_machine]

Is there an easy way to scan my debian testing system to find out what nonfree firmware I need to get all of my hardware running?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Code: Select all

# dmesg | grep firmware

[wrecked_machine]

That worked. Thank you, sir or maam!

If it's less than a year old, Debian may still lack the non-free firmware it needs. They haven't updated it for nigh unto a year now. (old-timey lingo in honor of its age)
