Here's what I show:

# dpkg -l |grep firm

ii firmware-amd-graphics 20161130-5
   all          Binary firmware for AMD/ATI graphics chips
   
ii firmware-linux-free 3.4
      all          Binary firmware for various drivers in 
      the Linux kernel

ii  firmware-linux-nonfree                       
      20161130-5
         all Binary firmware for various drivers in the 
         Linux kernel (meta-package)
         
ii firmware-misc-nonfree
         20161130-5 all Binary firmware for various
            drivers in the Linux kernel

Are there others I should have?
            
Thank you
