linux-2.6.30-libre is now available from http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/
Most of the changes to the deblobbing scripts, compared with 2.6.29, have to do with new drivers that require or contain non-Free Software and shuffling of non-Free firmware that used to be embedded in drivers, that keeps on being moved to the firmware/ tree The one exception is the Broadcom b43 WiFi driver, that now supports the Free firmware developed through reverse engineering. The firmware is requested as "b43-open/<name> , like upstream, and it's somewhat cheat-proof: it is supposed to recognize and accept only the Free firmware, regardless of name. I'd appreciate confirmation that I got it right, for I don't have any hardware handy that requires this driver. Enjoy, and Be Free!
