Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the wireless card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without wireless or download the firmware from elsewhere first.
How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes the issue.
Patch: Please see http://
Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. Wireless will not function.
Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does not overwrite existing files.
