Does RFP stand for "request for package"? Any ways, do you think a package is necessary for firmware downloading? ipw2100 and ipw2200 also require firmware download, and I think they do not have any package for that purpose, am I wrong (if I am, please let me know, since I have an ipw2100 card under a dell laptop)? Maybe documenting what's needed for YMF sound cards to work is what's missing, :)... BTW, I didn't find anything to YMF sound cards firmware under any repository (well, I found under contrib, alsa-firmware-loaders, but it's of no use for the purpose of downloading and updating YMF firmware I guess)...
