It is true that I am running a custom kernel, but the files I am talking about are shipped upstream by linux-firmware anyways. Of course this is not a urgent matter at all and it can wait after Jessie becomes stable but, eventually, tracking what upstream ships is the way to go when the licenses of the firmware files are compatible with Debian.
Sure, my point was that the firmware files from linux-firmware.git are either incompatible with the 3.16 kernel from Jessie, or there are hardware differences between different Baytrail devices preventing things from working on my Dell Venue 8 Pro. I'll have to test more recent kernels to rule out the latter. Does sound work for you with 3.19 and the firmware files from linux-firmware.git? Regards, Rene
