linux-firmware missing realtek firmware files

[echo6]

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
package linux-firmware 0:1.34.7

update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.38.8
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw for module r8169

I've only noticed this when installing kernel version 2.6.38.8 on box which has a realtek 8168 ethernet card, so it may be the case for earlier kernel versions.

This has also been recognised as a Debian bug, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561309

linux-firmware needs to be updated to include the missing files,
   * Realtek RTL8111D-1/RTL8168D-1 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw)
   * Realtek RTL8111D-2/RTL8168D-2 firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw)

Note that this SRU is blocked by the current -proposed package. Keeping in queue until that is verified.

[Jonathan Reed (jdreed)]

Can this SRU move forward?

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

It seems that bug 770232 failed verification, so this can't move forward unless another version is uploaded which reverts those firmware updates, which aren't related to this bug.

Since this has been in the queue for natty for so long, I'm rejecting 1.52.2 from the natty-proposed queue, please upload a new version with either fixes for 770232 or which reverts those updates to rt2800.

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

I sent a pull request to the kernel-team list to revert the commit blocking the proposed package. This had already been taken care of for the other series, but somehow it got missed for natty.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Alright, so we're *almost* there. Because 1.52.2 never made it in to natty-proposed/updates, the .changes file from the upload of 1.52.3 to natty-proposed doesn't list bug #804671, but does effectively include its fix. This is pretty important for displaying updates and the way things move through our system, so the source package needs to be re-generated with the additional argument of -v1.52.1, otherwise the bugs won't show up properly. Rejecting now, please try one more time. (Reposting to all bugs in the upload).

Hello echo6, or anyone else affected,

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!

I'm running Oneiric beta 2 with all backport and proposed repositories turned on and an RTL8192SU usb card. Ubuntu still can't find the card.
