** Description changed:
- The firmware version "ngene_18.fw" is needed for "ngene.ko" in all
- Precise kernels, thankfully the these rock solid bits did found their
- way into upstream kernel.
+ TEST CASE:
+ - needs testing by someone with the right hardware
+
+ RISK POTENTIAL:
+ - low, the ngene cards are broken currently without the firmware so little
that can break more

But in linux-firmware-nonfree is only "ngene_fw.15", "ngene_fw.17"
included. These to files could be dropped from my point of view, 15 ist
far to old and hopefully not used anymore w/ Precise and 17 is unstable,
it has IMHO never been officially released by the manufacturer.
