LoadPin: firmware denied


Ok, so it is debian12 with the hand-made kernel 6.6.28. I mean I compiled it for myself.
I found this message in dmesg output:

Quote:
LoadPin: firmware denied obj="/usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw" pid=1626 cmdline="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon"
This firmware is quite old, and I have no any idea if it is really needed.
By the way, I have RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 26)
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS

What I want to ask:
1. why is it denied?
2. should I allow to load that firmware (I guess), or not.
3. does it matter at all?
but mainly where can I find related info anywhere?

This link, https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...tl8168g-3-fw-2 says the error from missing the firmware-realtek package.

No, the firmware is there, available, I have checked it. But this LoadPin somehow blocks it. The question is if it is normal, and this firmware is really not needed or why is it denied at all?
