Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 Version: 2.6.32-38 The firmware files required when using an Adaptec Starfire-based network card using the kernel driver starfire.ko are missing. They are in neither the linux-image package, nor firmware-linux-free or firmware-linux-nonfree. Without the firmware the card is detected but attempting to bring it up fails: [ 354.472460] starfire 0000:0b:04.0: firmware: requesting adaptec/starfire_rx.bin [ 354.475973] starfire: Failed to load firmware "adaptec/starfire_rx.bin" Additionally I used apt-get source to on linux-source-2.6, firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree, and none of the source packages contained the firmware source. Finally I downloaded vanilla source of linux-2.6.32.27.tar.bz2 from ftp.kernel.org, and the source for this firmware IS contained there. -- Peter Nelson <peter@fuzzle.org>
