Okay, so I did some further research. I found that my linux-firmware
package was not upgrading. It was stuck at some ancient version. That is
why I didn't have the updated firmware. The weird thing was that "apt-
get dist-upgrade" was not showing is as a package that needed upgrading.
However, "apt-cache show linux-firmware" was showing both the installed
version and the version in the archive.I had a similar problem with the
kernel package after upgrading to 14.10. I found a stray pin config of
the following in my /etc/apt/preferences.d/ dir. I think that I was
asked to installed a proposed kernel at one point and I added the ping
config at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed. However, this
config seems to not prefer updates from the non-proposed package repos.
As soon as I removed the pin, my kernel was upgraded. I don't know about
the linux-firmware since I'd already purged and reinstalled it.
As a result, I think this bug can be closed.
