I am facing this problem when i try to install a package on the last version of proxmox running the latest kernel.

Any idea? Thanks

Code:
root@R420:/etc/apt# apt install firmware-atheros

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  proxmox-kernel-6.8.12-13-pve-signed
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.

Installing:
  firmware-atheros

REMOVING:
  proxmox-default-kernel  proxmox-kernel-6.11  proxmox-kernel-6.14  proxmox-ve  pve-firmware

Hi,

Proxmox ships its own firmware bundle, which is built from the Proxmox kernel sources and includes many proprietary firmware files—including some for Atheros devices.
Do you really need to install Atheros proprietary drivers?
If some drivers needs to be installed, instead of installing firmware-atheros (which conflicts with pve-firmware), you can extract just the needed files.
Ensure that it's not impact on your production before make any changes!
Code:
apt download firmware-atheros

dpkg-deb -x firmware-atheros_*.deb firmware-atheros-extract

sudo cp firmware-atheros-extract/lib/firmware/ath* /lib/firmware/

update-initramfs -u

reboot
