2010-04-21 12:41:18 Andy Whitcroft description Binary package hint: linux-firmware Eliot, Chase, I've started this new bug to track the progress of the asihpi firmware inclusion. The manufacturer (i e Eliot) has expressed interest and willingness to help make support out-of-the-box support for asihpi possible. Current status is that * there is not a good enough license information for asihpi in alsa-firmware, so we can't move it right over. I'm sure Eliot can help sort this out * Eliot has stressed the importance of matching kernel driver and firmware version, so this has to be checked as well. I'm not a license expert, but I'm optimistic that you two will be able to work things out together. SRU Justification: Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the sound card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without device support or download the firmware from elsewhere. How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes the issue. Patch: Please see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cndougla/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=cf6291f0e49a854819df84b1b64f460dfdb97b86. Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. The sound card will not function. Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does not overwrite existing files. The firmware will need to be removed from the alsa-firmware package maintained by Medibuntu when this is uploaded, but that's outside of the scope of Ubuntu. === Binary package hint: linux-firmware Eliot, Chase, I've started this new bug to track the progress of the asihpi firmware inclusion.
