I know nothing about Ubuntu, so maybe I am way off target. However, such firmware normally comes with the kernel, e.g., http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.34.1/firmware/tigon/ What am I missing? Some ideological stance on behalf of Ubuntu that dictates removing things from the kernel because they are binary, etc.?
