Subject: firmware: correct attribution of Sierra Wireless CIS files
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

These files have nothing to do with the pcmcia-cs project and are
distributed without any clear licence.

The only source I can find for these files is
<http://www.sierrawireless.com/resources/faq/PC_Card/AirCard555/Aircard_Linux.tar> linked from <https://sierrawireless.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/179/kw/linux>.

David Hinds who ran the pcmcia-cs project disclaims any knowledge of
these files.
