Bug#564628: Add Realtek RTL8168D firmware
Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.22
Severity: wishlist
I need to request a suitable licence to redistribute the RTL8168D
firmware patches which are removed from Linux kernel packages.
Currently the only licence for drivers/net/r8169.c is GPLv2, which is
not suitable for sourceless firmware.
Ben.
