Because the hardware manufacturer says that: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2011-March/003380.html Anyway, the firmware in staging(or ralink web) drivers look different because they are different _versions_ of the _same_ firmware. rt2870.bin: before 4096 bytes, now 8192 bytes. > linux-firmware is not *actively* maintained; it requires people to send > submissions (repeatedly...). On 04/06/2010, *ONE YEAR AGO* , I sent a patch to rt2870.bin rt2860.bin. It went to /dev/null A similar patch was sent by the *driver maintainer* on 10/30/2010. It went to /dev/null The same patch was sent by the *hardware manufacturer* on 03/11/2011 It went to /dev/null Torvalds, Mozart and God are pending. > I think there may be a problem with distribution of Intel Pro Wireless > firmware because Intel requires users to accept a EULA.
