Additional information is posted at http://doolittle.icarus.com/~larry/fwinventory/2.6.17.html -- System Information: deleted (irrelevant) ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- Version: 2.6.24-1 The Debian Kernel Team is guilty of uploading a disjointed kernel. For the record Bastian Blank [EMAIL PROTECTED] coded the infrastructure for the stripping and the stripping itself. The FTP masters threatened to block any future Linux uploads or alternatively would launch an NMU (non maintainer upload) stripping the affected drivers. I very strongly disagreed with that decision, but the Debian Developer made their position clear in the General Resolution 2006-007, which is binding for us. In the long run it might be a win for Free Software - history will tell. In the short term this is an annoyance for existing hardware driver support. As expected none of the vocal minority, aka Mr. Nerode and Mr. Doolittle, demanding DFSG freeness helped to work out this transition nor to cleanup the created mess. The stripping presents an additional maintenance burden. But I'm sick of the arguments. Rather then fighting I'd like to see people working together to make things work, both on the licensing side (BSD firmware) and on the code side (firmware_request()), neither is easy. I'm thus closing the bug reports regarding firmware blobs and pointing the reporters to the following wiki page in order to finaly help a bit - http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing Possible DFSG violations in current and future linux-2.6 uploads should be filed seperately. kthxbye -- maks ---End Message---
