Hey Mark. I was actually wondering that also, why it was in multiverse
since I assumed the kernel would be supported.
It would be very interesting to find out what hardware would actually be
affected though. I agree with you about essential drivers that they are
needed - at least until they are re
Those sound like they would be better in restricted, which is
*supported* non-free. If those firmware elements are essential for
making it work, we should support them. This is a matter of policy since
day 0, regardless of our personal preferences. Binary drivers and
firmware are OK in restricted,
Hey Jeremy. I removed my debugging attachments, as they kind of
cluttered the report and I guess they're really not useful anyways in
this situation.
>From a philosophical standpoint, not to be a gnuisance, but is it not
unethical to encourage people to use non-free software by enabling the

That is my understanding, yes. It would probably be a better idea to ask
the team directly in #ubuntu-kernel on the FreeNode IRC server.
Thanks!

Thanks Jeremy for letting me know that. I am also happy to see it is in
the multiverse (unsupported non-free). I can't recall with certainty,
but is that repository disabled by default when installing under the
latest distro release (Lucid right now)?

Kip,
from a conversation concerning this, we created linux-firmware-nonfree to
address this issue. The firmware has been cleaned up and recategorized to be
the same as Debian now.
I hope that helps.

Hey Jeremy. Thanks for the heads up, though it was an automated message.
I've added some debugging details, but I don't think this is a technical
problem, but a philosophical one. Please let me know if there is
anything further I can provide.

The linux kernel is currently licensed under the GPL, but contains

Hi Kip,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release
of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the
following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It
will aut
It appears, and I could be wrong, that Debian seems to group ALL binary
blobs into a firmware-nonfree package.
On the other hand, gNewSense does away with binary blobs altogether.
This often renders certain hardware unusable at first go, which is one
of the hallmarks of Ubuntu.
