Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.21
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I was trying to get the latest KMS features for my radeon HD3650 graphic card, with the new 2.6.32 kernel (rc8, in debian). However, it seems it's not working because of a missing firmware : RV635_pfp.bin

Here is the dmesg :

So, could you please include that firmware in the package ? Maybe i'm
not reporting on the right package, but anyway, I haven't found such a
file in the whole debian archive.
On the other hand, if you know another way to find the file, or to make
it work, please share it !

Thanks
