All,
Is there a reason why the firmware binary for the WiFi driver is not included into the kernel-firmware package? The reason I'm asking is that initially I thought there is a licensing issue, but I've checked the license and there are no issues there. Also the same license covers the following binary we are installing: === [root@centos-rpi3 ~]# ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 488193 Nov 20 2015 /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin [root@centos-rpi3 ~]# rpm -qf /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin linux-firmware-20150904-43.git6ebf5d5.el7.noarch [root@centos-rpi3 ~]# ===
I'll try to update the linux-firmware repository [http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree...] with the firmware for our chip, however, I guess it would be quite a long process, so I suggest to temporarily build a sub-package (say, linux-firmware-brcmfmac43430) out of our kernel SRPM, so users would get WiFi out of the box. What do you think?
