As indicated from SRU justification section, the solution is to backport a few new fw blobs. So the steps were to verify if the downloaded deb contains exactly the binaries I proposed:
$ dpkg-deb -R linux-firmware_*.deb . $ md5sum lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8153* $ md5sum ~/linux-firmware.git/rtl_nic/rtl8153* and to find a spare platform, install that deb from bionic-proposed, boot with RTL8153 usb-ether attached, and check if network interface is available. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-done-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890641 Title: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125a-3.fw for module r8169 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1890641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
