Is there an effort to submit this firmware to the Ubuntu repos to replace the
prior Atheros ones for Ubuntu 12.04 and above? The 12.04.2 CD comes with the
Quantal kernel (3.5) installed by default and the upcoming 12.04.3 release
will have the Raring kernel (3.8) installed by default which will make use of
the firmware.
Of course versions of Ubuntu greater than 12.04 will have support for this
firmware and if this gets pushed to Debian unstable, that will guarantee a
future release uses it by default.
P.S. In the past, Jason brought over the 3.5 kernel to Trisquel 6 from the
lts-quantal package, but are there plans as well to bring over the 3.8 kernel
from the lts-raring package?
