From: Paul Scott on 7 Jul 2010 15:50 Hi, From everything I can find the versions of firmware-linux-nonfree for sid and unstable (0.26) contain corrupted versions of agere_sta_fw.bin and agere_ap_fw.bin version 9.48 Does someone know how I can the uncorrupted versions of these files? When I try to download them from the sites I find IceWeasel gives me a zero length file.

This link should give you access to the firmware directly from the kernel.org git tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree Make sure to use the "raw" link to the right of the names of the files that you need. According to the "history" links, these two files were added to the kernel in 2008 and have not been changed since. -- Regards, | Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

They are also identical to the files in the Debian firmware-linux-nonfree package. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Are you sure this is true for agere_sta_fw.bin? My wireless is currently broken with version 0.26 of firmware-linux-nonfree. It worked with the previous version. Is there another step after upgrading firmware-linux-nonfree to get the agere driver installed. There are some threads out there about corrupted agere*.bin files because of a file transfer problem..

Yes. I downloaded the firmware-linux-nonfree package, cloned the linux-firmware git tree and compared the files. Here are the sha1sums: 0c58a68058e2ef23e3e7f3546c40afb536d924d4 agere_ap_fw.bin 0fff9e1b61ab735e698d6390ffd60d0247ae1a0b agere_sta_fw.bin Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
