Bug#502663: linux-2.6: Binary firmware in dabusb driver
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-9
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
The file drivers/media/video/dabfirmware.h contains machine code written
as C structures/arrays, for which the source code is not provided.
A patch is available to make this driver use the request_firmware()
API, and I will provide patches for linux-2.6 and firmware-nonfree
shortly.
Ben.
