Re: Edgeport8 usb-RS-232 Converter Firmware Squeeze

There are other possible solutions.

One solution is to install the linux-firmware package from the ubuntu
repository (note that thereafter you can't  anymore install the
firmware packages from debian repositories due to conflicts). For
example, you could type the following commands as the root user:

    aptitude remove firmware-linux firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree
    wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
    dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb

The other solution is to manually install the firmware files from the
ubuntu package. For example, you could type the following commands as
the root user:

   aptitude install firmware-linux
   mkdir tmp
   cd tmp
   wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
   ar x linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
   tar xf data.tar.gz
   cp -rv lib/firmware/edgeport/ /lib/firmware/
