should be fixed in 222 or somewhere around that, at least the bug that
is open for it said that.

If you push wireless fixes to -stable Fedora would then get them for "free".
I don't see many wireless patches in there generally, though the ath5k
memory corruption fix just went in.

And new drivers would be great. Lots of people seem to want ath9k, for
example.

If so, cool, but I can't be arsed to check.



It only does its thing for stuff in firmware/

Every firmware file needs to be moved there; some are not and they
don't get into the package.

fwiw this is hitting the BUG_ON in drm_open.

You bring up a pretty good point here Jarod, what happens with firmware
for arch-specific drivers? The Makefile rules will have to be written in
such a way that it gets built into the package despite the CONFIG_*
symbol being unset on the build arch.



That's what it does. It includes all firmware, even for drivers that don't get
built. Look in firmware/Makefile and you'll see it builds lists
named fw-shipped-y, fw-shipped-m and fw-shipped- then just merges them to
create fw-shipped-all  which it uses to build/install the firmware.
