** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + + Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the sound + card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without device + support or download the firmware from elsewhere. + + How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes + the issue. + + Patch: Please see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cndougla/linux- + firmware.git;a=commit;h=cf6291f0e49a854819df84b1b64f460dfdb97b86. + + Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. The + sound card will not function. + + Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does + not overwrite existing files. The firmware will need to be removed from + the alsa-firmware package maintained by Medibuntu when this is uploaded, + but that's outside of the scope of Ubuntu. + + === + Binary package hint: linux-firmware Eliot, Chase, I've started this new bug to track the progress of the asihpi firmware inclusion. The manufacturer (i e Eliot) has expressed interest and willingness to help make support out-of-the-box support for asihpi possible. Current status is that * there is not a good enough license information for asihpi in alsa- firmware, so we can't move it right over. I'm sure Eliot can help sort this out * Eliot has stressed the importance of matching kernel driver and firmware version, so this has to be checked as well. I'm not a license expert, but I'm optimistic that you two will be able to work things out together.
