In order to distribute any of this firmware in Ubuntu we need the individual firmware files and an open-source compatible license from the vendor for redistribution of the firmware files. Lacking that we are not able to distribute the firmware with Ubuntu. There is a version of phanfw.bin in the

I can't boot in any default 3.13 kernel (tried all: 3.13.0-24, 3.13.0-27 and 3.13.0-29), as the system doesn't have USB and network up and running. So I have no direct access with the keyboard (USB, there is no other port on these boards) and no remote access using SSH (as the network is not

JSE, just to clarify, it would appear you have two separate problems: 1) The OS doesn't boot unless on the mainline kernels you mentioned previously? 2) The firmware provided by Ubuntu in the mainline kernel doesn't work at all, and you personally tested the latest version and it works on the

1) The system boots incorrectly on the 3.13 kernels. The USB keyboard is not working, neither is the Ethernet connection. The systems boots correctly on 3.14-rc+ kernels, so also on 3.15 it works ok. This is a separate issue, which I can setup as a separate bug. With 14.04.1 around the corner

JSE, regarding just the firmware piece, this would be bundled as a separate package in Ubuntu (linux-firmware) which contains phanfw.bin. The next step would be to test this out in a working Ubuntu kernel. Hence, feel free to subscribe me to the new bug report you create regarding booting up and

Christopher, the test are done with the latest mainline kernel 3.15.0-031500-generic as mentioned earlier. With that kernel I get the messages as above. I think the netxen driver should be updated, so it can handle the latest firmware of HP too. The issue is there is no source code of the HP
