Re: Wheezy: firmware qlogic/isp1000.bin missing - why?

Hello.
I tried to connect an external SCSI disk array to one of my Sun Ultra1
machines. It did not work out of the box.
dmesg reported missing firmware for the SCSI controler board (SBUS
module): qlogic/isp1000.bin. apt-file search didn't find anything in
main, contrib and non-free.
Does anybody know why it's missing? License problems? Or simply a bug?
The firmware is available on the net as Intel hex. I converted it and
put it into firmware/qlogic, so the problem is solved for me. But
maybe someone else runs into the same problem.
Curiously, I tried booting both Squeeze and Wheezy on an E4500 last
night and found it crashed (killed the interrupt handler) when
attempting to initialise that driver (after it had got locale preference
etc.). I've tried disconnecting the JBOD (Storedge D1000) which didn't
change anything, and was about to try removing the controller.
I've seen the Squeeze CD boot once (complaining about the missing
firmware, which appears to have been moved into a separate file at
around the 2.4 -> 2.6 transition) so this appears to be an intermittent
fault. I've not successfully had older Debian's on the E4500 due to
missing module issues etc. (i.e. installation kernel couldn't read CD
etc.) but Slackware runs although it can't access the D1000 ("READ
CAPACITY failed").
Problem persists if controller removed, but hits a bit earlier (when
prompting for language). I can see it get past the missing firmware message.

I'm reverting to Slackware on that machine and putting the JBOD in
storage for the moment (the only reason I tried this was because I'm
trying to make space in my workroom).
