linux-firmware

[Barry Premeaux]

I have a Dell and an older Lenovo running 22.04. Both had the firmware
update failure issue.  Let the software update app find the best mirror for
my area.  Selected the new mirror and after a reload, both updated without
a problem.  This is what worked for me.  Hope it helps.
