Hi,

 From everything I can find the versions of firmware-linux-nonfree
for sid and unstable (0.26) contain corrupted versions of
agere_sta_fw.bin and agere_ap_fw.bin version 9.48

Does someone know how I can the uncorrupted versions of these files?
When I try to download them from the sites I find IceWeasel gives me
a zero length file.

This link should give you access to the firmware directly from the
kernel.org git tree:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree

Make sure to use the "raw" link to the right of the names of the files
that you need. According to the "history" links, these two files were
added to the kernel in 2008 and have not been changed since.

They are also identical to the files in the Debian
firmware-linux-nonfree package.

Are you sure this is true for agere_sta_fw.bin? My wireless is currently broken with version 0.26 of firmware-linux-nonfree. It worked with the previous version. Is there another step after upgrading firmware-linux-nonfree to get the agere driver installed.

There are some threads out there about corrupted agere*.bin files because of a file transfer problem..

Thanks,

Paul
