This is a good point but the firmware filename is now changing too rapidly (every 6 weeks) to include all of them into linux-firmware.git. So we chose the firmware version that are the most stable and that correspond to a certain kernel. E.g. I won't upstream -16.ucode since 4.2 can handle 15 and 4.3 can already handle 17. That's the compromise we found. Note that all the firmware versions are available in our linux-firmware.git clone. Right now, I am waiting for -17.ucode to stabilize before upstreaming it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
