Bug#587960: [Debian] Where can I find rtl81638d-2.fw firmware for Realtek 8168D NIC?

You should use the debian-kernel list or the BTS for firmware-nonfree. ah indeed, sorry: I wrote to you personally since I saw several replies from you on the topic. Submitting the request on BTS with this email. I recently bought a laptop (HP dv6-2193el) which has an unfortunate NIC: Realtek 8168D. That's the nic that requires the firmware rtl81638d-2.fw to work. Does it actually require that? I think that that image is a patch that fixes a bug in the original firmware. Currently the driver will still allow you to use the NIC if the firmware image is not available. well, the NIC leds blink, but I can't connect to the other host, nor doing any other network operation. Ehm, what image are you referring to? squeeze alpha1 installer? Now, I saw some request for inclusion in firmware-linux-nonfree, but you said it's not possible since we still don't have a clear licence that allows for redistribution. What I'm actually asking you is: where can I get that firmware? I googled a lot without success, and also trying with some different net-installers (lenny, testing dailies @ 2010-06-26, squeeze alpha 1) none of them was able to correctly detect and enable the NIC, and without that, I can't go on with Debian installation. You would need to convert the array that was removed from rtl8168d_2_hw_phy_config() here to a binary: http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=c8d71d6cd4746c075387b689506adb7256b3221a#patch10 if only I know how :) Thanks in advance, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It was very useful to meet upstream and other distribution developers at LPC last year, it was also quite expensive for the project. Given that most regular members live in Europe, I suggest that we limit travel expenses by meeting at a European conference like Linux-Kongress http://www.linux-kongress.org/2010/ or FrOSCon http://www.froscon.org/. Alternately we could try to arrange a sponsored work session in Extremadura if people think that would be productive.
