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?

Yes.  I downloaded the firmware-linux-nonfree package, cloned the
linux-firmware git tree and compared the files.  Here are the sha1sums:

0c58a68058e2ef23e3e7f3546c40afb536d924d4  agere_ap_fw.bin
0fff9e1b61ab735e698d6390ffd60d0247ae1a0b  agere_sta_fw.bin

Admitting I don't know the whole process well enough: Is it possible that the installing of firmware-linux-nonfree somehow doesn't properly download the agere*.bin as described in this thread?

As I mention in my email at 2:30 putting agere_sta_fw.bin in /lib/firmware does change the behavior of my wireless card.

Thanks,

Paul
