Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-firmware

in the nslu2 we now include the firmware in d-i as
/lib/firmware/NPE-C.02020201 and /lib/firmware/NPE-B.01020201

the driver expects to find /lib/firmware/NPE-B instead of the long name and refuses to load the firmware if no symlink that
shortens the name is in place.
using ln -s /lib/firmware/NPE-B.01020201 /lib/firmware/NPE-B in a d-i shell brings the interface up fine with
ip link set dev eth0 up

please include NPE-B and NPE-C symlinks in the package, pointing to NPE-B.01020201 and NPE-C.02020201 respectively in /lib/firmware
