The above are used only with older Tigon3 cards and even then most can
be used without them (only losing support for TSO).
However, they should be included in the firmware-linux-nonfree package,
and will be in future.

According to the change that added the reference to that file:
"Moving forward, all ISP81XX parts will
ship with a suggested-to-be-used firmware image within flash
which all driver should first attempt to load. If the flash
firmware load fails, the driver will then fallback to loading
firmware via the request-firmware interface (ql8100_fw.bin)."
So it appears that you will normally not need this file.
