You can build your own, just add "non-free" "archive-area" (as in '--archive- areas="main contrib non-free"' lb config option), and add "firmware-linux package" (which is in non-free). That way the you will have non-free firmware included: $ apt-cache show firmware-linux Package: firmware-linux Priority: optional Section: non-free/kernel Depends: firmware-linux-free, firmware-linux-nonfree (= 0.28) Filename: pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-linux_0.28_all.deb Description: Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel (meta- package) This package depends on both free and non-free firmware which was previously included in the Linux kernel. -- ESC:wq -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
