Package: firmware-linux-free
Version: 3.2

The current firmware-linux-free package does not contain free firmware for the 
certain Atheros chipsets. Recently, the htc_7010.fw and htc_9721.fw firmwares 
were updated by Atheros and re-released under a free software license. This 
would invoke the removal of the non-free firmwares from the firmware-atheros 
package as well.

More information at 
https://www.fsf.org/news/ryf-ce.rtification-thinkpenguin-usb-with-atheros-chip.

Recent firmware files can be obtained from 
http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/version-1.3.2/ or from the source at 
https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware. Please consider updating these 
two firmware files in a package update for Wheezy and above when possible.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7 with kernel 3.2.0.4
