Comment 23 for bug 1327908

In order to distribute any of this firmware in Ubuntu we need the individual firmware files and an open-source compatible license from the vendor for redistribution of the firmware files. Lacking that we are not able to distribute the firmware with Ubuntu.

There is a version of phanfw.bin in the upstream linux-firmware repository, which is the version we ship in Ubuntu. According to the history this is version 4.0.590, last updated Apr 7 2013. There is no nx3fwct.bin file there.

The best thing would still be to get this firmware updated/included in upstream linux-firmware, but that will also require an appropriate license for redistribution.

Changing this to wishlist since as far as I know there's nothing we can do about it right now. If the firmware files become available with an appropriate license, please let me know.
