Need i2400m-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf for i2400m_usb

[resplin]

Binary package hint: linux-firmware

When I boot up I get the following errors:

[ 35.912896] i2400m_usb 2-1.3:1.0: WiMAX interface wmx0 (00:1d:e1:36:0b:56) ready
[ 35.914152] i2400m_usb 2-1.3:1.0: fw i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf: cannot load file: -2
[ 35.914179] i2400m_usb 2-1.3:1.0: Could not find a usable firmware image
[ 35.914200] i2400m_usb 2-1.3:1.0: cannot bootstrap device: -2

But I only have these two firmware installed from the linux-firmware package:

/lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf
/lib/firmware/i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf

I think the latest firmware needs to be added to the package from:

http://linuxwimax.org/Download?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=i2400m-fw-1.5.0.tar.bz2

Others are also having this issue, as seen from this thread from the forums:

SRU Justification

Impact: Linux 2.6.35 requires new firmware files for some Intel wimax adapters

Patch Description: Add 2 new firmware files

There is no possibility for regression since both firmware files are new, e.g., i2400m-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf and i6050-fw-usb-1.5.sbcf

Needs debdiff
Needs test case
Needs approval from ubuntu-sru

Accepted linux-firmware into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Steve Conklin (sconklin)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Tested. The firmware appears correctly, and the errors on bootup went away. Now I get this message:

WiMAX interface wmx0 . . . ready

Thank you for the help!
