Package: firmware-nonfree
Severity: wishlist
p54 is a driver for wlan cards based on prism54 hardware. The p54pi and
p54usb kernel modules require the following firmware files to operate:
p54pci.c: err = request_firmware(&fw_entry, "isl3886", &priv->pdev->dev);
p54usb.c: err = request_firmware(&fw_entry, "isl3887usb_bare",
&priv->udev->dev);
p54usb.c: err = request_firmware(&fw_entry, "isl3890usb",
&priv->udev->dev);
Back when I was packaging p54 as an out-of-tree kernel module I put
together a script to download the firmware at install-time. It used the
following data to work out which files to download and what to name them
on the local machine:
fw_url = 'http://prism54.org/firmware/'
firmwares = (('isl????usb', '2.4.6.0.arm',
'9284895edb77ee88ec680cba4b90d55a'),
('isl3887usb_bare', '2.5.6.0.arm',
'6ff238179cf9618aac2b5d7a34e41450'),
('isl3890usb', '2.5.8.0.arm',
'1c4847b33a385bc345b80697b3532dc2'),
('isl3886', '2.7.0.0.arm',
'09f9da7ea757173c9de1a0322a1f9782'))
The firmware files are available on <http://prism54.org/firmware/>. I
don't yet have any information about their origin, copyright or
licensing status. I'm trying to find out from the administrators of that
web server.

Closing this bug as the copyright and licence for this firmware were
never resolved.
If you or anyone else are able to sort that out, you should submit the
firmware to linux-firmware.git first as that is now the upstream project
for firmware-nonfree.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
