Re: Edgeport8 usb-RS-232 Converter Firmware Squeeze
There are other possible solutions.
One solution is to install the linux-firmware package from the ubuntu
repository (note that thereafter you can't anymore install the
firmware packages from debian repositories due to conflicts). For
example, you could type the following commands as the root user:
aptitude remove firmware-linux firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree
wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
The other solution is to manually install the firmware files from the
ubuntu package. For example, you could type the following commands as
the root user:
aptitude install firmware-linux
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
ar x linux-firmware_1.79_all.deb
tar xf data.tar.gz
cp -rv lib/firmware/edgeport/ /lib/firmware/
