Yes, you need firmware and you need the latest linux-firmware available. This always makes sense.
I found this page through the links that Andrei sent: http: //git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=e92017c4d520c36b20f1e51cc894a5c31c6f526f
This seems to indicate that if you click on the link for my device at the bottom, I will get the latest patch of firmware. However, here is the page when I click on the link: http: //git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/brcm/brcmfmac4350c2-pcie.bin?id=e92017c4d520c36b20f1e51cc894a5c31c6f526f
All that shows is some kind of binary map.
How do I actually find and download the binary file? I know that it needs to be put in my /lib/firmware/brcm directory, but I cannot get the actual file to download. All I get is that map, which I think is only a visual representation of the binary file, and not the file itself.
Ok, some hints:
First, take a closer look at the link:
Thist staring part tells you, that you access a git repository via the cgit utility, there is documentation that can be found (hello, google).
To make it short, the trick is to go back to the last directory, here:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree...
There you find a listing, and if you look carefully, at the end of each line a link marked by the word "plain".
THIS is the link you want. To Download either select "Download target to...", or copy the link to a termial and use wget / curl / aria (whatever the tool of your personal preference is).
Does this answer your question?
