Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-firmware-nonfree

This is regression (upgrading looses the previous firmware) related to #515424

The firmware is asking for BCM2033-MD.bin and BCM2033-FW.bin and not the lower case equiv of the names which are included. Below is dmesg log from me fixing the problem:
