staging/wlan-ng firmware blob

[Karl Relton]

Dear friends

With the advent of 2.6.31 into Karmic, please be advised that the
staging/wlan-ng driver (module prism2_usb.ko) used for prism2_usb cards
can now load the card firmware blob direct from /lib/firmware using the
normal kernel firmware mechanism (previously it required a special
userspace program to squirt the firmware at it).

The driver will load prism2_ru.hex if present in /lib/firmware.

Therefore can we upgrade the Ubuntu linux-firmware package to include
this file?

The file can be obtained from the source of linux-wlan-ng-firmware - the
file required is ru010803.hex, and it should be renamed to prism2_ru.hex
for installation in /lib/firmware.

Note - doing this will render the linux-wlan-ng-firmware package
redundant for prism2_usb cards (though the package does have other
firmware blobs for non-usb cards).

Regards
Karl
