[Bug 508746] Re: rtl819xE:request firmware fail!

Tue Apr 20 18:02:43 UTC 2010

SRU Justification:

Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the wireless
card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without wireless or
download the firmware from elsewhere first.

How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes
the issue.

Patch: Please see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cndougla/linux-
firmware.git;a=commit;h=fd2b78a22a30f01d7b86409a0cbe9a820f715f3e.

Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware.
Wireless will not function.

Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does
not overwrite existing files.
