corrupted firmware-linux-nonfree 0.26
Hi, From everything I can find the versions of firmware-linux-nonfree for sid and unstable (0.26) contain corrupted versions of agere_sta_fw.bin and agere_ap_fw.bin version 9.48 Does someone know how I can the uncorrupted versions of these files? When I try to download them from the sites I find IceWeasel gives me a zero length file.
