No word from Sun re Cassini.

There is a FreeBSD driver for the Kawasaki USB network chips (kaweth
driver) under 4-clause BSD but the stated copyright holder for the
firmware is the driver author, which is not correct.  I will try
contacting him.

I found QLogic QLA1XXX firmware in OpenBSD under 3-clause BSD.

No news from Tehuti, but I found firmware in OpenBSD under 4-clause BSD.

WhiteHEAT hardware is still avalable so there may be some mileage in
contacting the manufacturer.

I renumbered the previous firmware-nonfree as 0.13.1 and uploaded
today's updates as 0.13.2.

Ben.
