What do you mean? Those files should be deleted from the
linux-firmware
package. There is no need to keep them around, as with the removal of
the staging drivers, the last users of those files are gone.
Stop repeating this nonsense, Ivo. If the firmware has been bundled in
the Linux tree, that would be correct. For linux-firmware the
policy is
different.
It's unbelievable how much fuzz a set of binary firmware files can
create.
To be honest, I do not care whether they stay or go, as long as it is
very
clear that rt2x00 does not need, and will never need those files. If
they
stay, I would recommend simply not touching them at all, and leave
them as
they are, so that nothing changes for the people running the staging
driver
(at least with respect to these 3 firmware files).
Larry, it might be best to update your changes to the WHENCE file to
clearly
state that these 3 files are only needed for the staging rt2860sta
driver,
up to kernel 2.6.39 (assuming that that staging driver will be
removed in 2.6.40).
Agreed. I'll add that as soon as I get the requested info about what
changed from Ralink.
I can test if linking rt3090.bin to rt2860.bin works for the PCI
device, but I have no USB stick for testing. As a result, I'm inclined
to leave those files intact for the foreseeable future.
Off-Topic: What are some makes/models of USB sticks? If there are some
inexpensive models on E-bay, I could add to my collection.
Linksys WUSB600N both v1 and v2 are some kind of 2870 derivative
