Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-9
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

The file drivers/net/usb/kawethfw.h contains machine code written
as C structures/arrays, for which the source code is not provided.
Further, the licence for the firmware is stated to be GPLv2 which does
not allow distribution without source code also available.

A patch is available to make this driver use the request_firmware()
API, and I will provide a patch for linux-2.6.

Ben.
