SRU Justification:

Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the sound
card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without device
support or download the firmware from elsewhere.

How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes
the issue.

Patch: Please see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cndougla/linux-
firmware.git;a=commit;h=cf6291f0e49a854819df84b1b64f460dfdb97b86.

Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. The
sound card will not function.

Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does
not overwrite existing files. The firmware will need to be removed from
the alsa-firmware package maintained by Medibuntu when this is uploaded,
but that's outside of the scope of Ubuntu.
