Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "cs46xx-firmware".
* Package name : cs46xx-firmware Version : 0.1-1 Upstream Author : Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Cirrus Logic * URL : ftp://ftp.kernel.org * License : unclear, but binary blob has been distributed with GPLv2 Section : non-free/base It builds these binary packages: cs46xx-firmware - Firmware for cs46xx Cirrus Logic audio devices The package appears to be lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/c/cs46xx-firmware - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/c/cs46xx-firmware/cs46xx-firmware_0.1-1.dsc I scratched this package together as I don't of any other way to help and to have a working cs46xx audio driver in future Debian kernels. Anyone with more knowledge is free to NMU, adopt, hijack etc. the package if it makes the cs46xx driver usable again. I'm hoping this package or something similar would go into etch and a half release too, since the new 2.6.24 kernel planned to etch does not include this firmware anymore. The current 2.6.18 kernel does include this firmware, so this separate firmware package would help in the 'added hardware support' feeling of etch and a half :) The Debian 2.6.24 kernels in etch-proposed-updates and sid require a patch from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464197 to make use of the firmware provided by this package. I have tested these on my Thinkpad T20 with the affected Cirrus chip and they seem to work. A module reload was needed once after a warm reboot, but I have not been able to reproduce this. The kernel patch should perhaps be more verbose and even suggest installing the firmware package, but hopefully these can be fixed later... -Mikko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
