Hello Kernel Team,
I don't believe I've introduced myself yet, although I've interacted with many of you on select occasions. It would also be good for me to elaborate on what my priorities are so you know where I fit in the team.

Dear all,
I have uploaded a new version of carl9170fw to mentors.debian.net that

Hi all,
As previously announced, I'm planning to package the carl9170 firmware
such that we build it from source using gcc-sh-elf. The package is
starting to take shape, and I would appreciate if you could make an
empty repository at

Hello,
Before I file a formal ITP, I'd like to inform you of my plans with
respect to carl9170, and how we will need to work together.
carl9170 is already packaged in firmware-linux-free, so why do I plan
on making it its own source package? Right now, carl9170 is not built
from source, and we ar
Dear Debian Kernel Team and friends,
I currently maintain the open-ath9k-htc-firmware package, which is the
flagship firmware for libre USB 802.11n wireless adapters. Unlike the
firmware in firmware-linux-free, this gets built from source using a
cross compiler, rather than shipped as a pre-built

As discussed on the mailing list(s), I'm looking into making a udeb for

it yet, I anticipate that being able t
That firmware-ath9k-htc isn't installed by default seems to be confusing
downstream users, particularly on derivatives that are designed to be free
software only and FSF-endorsed. Trisquel explicitly makes an effort to include
it [1], but PureOS does not (yet) [2], and their docs seem to reflect

I'm not subscribed, please CC me.
I'm adopting the firmware-ath9k-htc package, which has been FTBFS for a while

The live images include firmware-ath9k-htc now, see #934522.
By the way, being unaware of this bug at the time I filed #900171, that
