Bug Description
I'm not 100% sure what this firmware blob is actually used for, as the card is mostly functional without it and I'm not confident the broken bits aren't due to an incomplete driver, but it requests it for CA0132-based PCIe addin cards (Sound Blaster Recon3D, Z series, X AE-5).

I just noticed that the source code also calls for a "ctefx-r3di.bin" that's needed for a "Recon3Di" (apparently a Dell proprietary variant?) and the -sbz file was renamed "ctefx-desktop.bin" in 4.20.
