[Bug 227555] New: Intersil isl3890 firmware is not installable with YaST2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227555 Summary: Intersil isl3890 firmware is not installable with YaST2 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jarl@softace.dk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com In SuSE 10.0 There was a package called something like "Download Intersil 3890 firmware", which as I remember installed a small script that fetched the firmware from http://www.prism54.org/firmware/1.0.4.3.arm (OK the URL was maybe another one by that time). Then by installing this package, prism54 based cards would work straight away. It would be nice if such a package would become part of SuSE again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I think the bug is about the online update package I did for some previous releases, which allowed to download and install the firmware quite conveniently using YaST. But it's rather annoying to do this every release again, so we should eventually find a better and more general way to detect missing firmware and download them in YaST.
Actually the fact that I couldn't find such a package in YOU triggered me to create this bug. However as you write, this may not be the perfect solution, but it made it very easy to download and install the firmware. How about the following solution: having the download script installed by default (or at least when choosing network pattern), then when user is about to configure network (using yast), the install_intersil_firmware should be run (to download and install it) if matching hardware is found. The same could be done for other firmware... Otherwise I think you can mark this bug as resolved since the fetch_and_install scripts is now part of distro and no longer necessary to get via YOU. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
