Package: firmware-nonfree Version: 20160110-1 Severity: normal Control: affects -1 src:open-ath9k-htc-firmware
As discussed on the mailing list(s), I'm looking into making a udeb for firmware-ath9k-htc with kernel-wedge. Although I've not delved too much into it yet, I anticipate that being able to install the firmware under its canonical name will at least be helpful, and potentially necessary. To avoid clashing with the ones provided in firmware-nonfree, I do a hack where I ship it as e.g. /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc/htc_7010-1.dev.0.fw, and then install a modprobe option to tell the kernel module to look for it under that name. This is certainly confusing. Fortunately because of this crutch, it doesn't need to be fixed atomically. The firmware can be removed from firmware-nonfree first, then I can switch the name over, adding Breaks as necessary, at some later time. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (2, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
