Comment 15 for bug 363682

Just updated my myth server (ubuntu 9.10) kernel. Boom... package still has old broken firmware in it which of course merrily over-wrote the working version copied into place after the last kernel update. (see comment #8 for the standard recipe).

This urgently needs to be fixed in the ubuntu kernel packages. Are the Kernel packagers even aware of the issue?
The firmware file you're distro-ing is not 'a bit flaky' or 'imperfect'. Its is 100% non-functional dead broken. If you have several cards the firmware reload loop approximates a denial-of-service attack.

Please package a a working firmware!
