Bug#608861: unblock: firmware-nonfree/0.28
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package firmware-nonfree. This includes several
important fixes for network hardware:
- Added firmware patches for some Realtek network controllers that
allow them to work at 1G with a wider variety of cables and link
partners. These patches were included in the upstream driver for a
long time but were not properly licenced. Currently users may have to
disable 1G operation. (#564628, #587960, #596390)
- Added firmware for Atheros wifi controllers. (#558740)
- Update for Netxen NICs, fixes a bug that can crash the NIC. (#606289)
- Update for Atheros AR3011, described as 'Fix EEPROM radio table
issue and change PID to 3005'.
