** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + + Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the wireless + card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without wireless or + download the firmware from elsewhere first. + + 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=fd2b78a22a30f01d7b86409a0cbe9a820f715f3e. + + Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. + Wireless will not function. + + Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does + not overwrite existing files. + + === + Installing ubuntu on a friends samsung n130. 9.10 lacks a driver for the wifi card Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
