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 upstream linux-firmware repository, which is the version we ship in Ubuntu. According to the history this is version 4.0.590, last updated Apr 7 2013. There is no nx3fwct.bin file there. The best thing would still be to get this firmware updated/included in upstream linux-firmware, but that will also require an appropriate license for redistribution. Changing this to wishlist since as far as I know there's nothing we can do about it right now. If the firmware files become available with an appropriate license, please let me know. ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327908 Title: HP NC375T / phanfw.bin: firmware is older than flash / Direct firmware load failed with error -2 / HP firmware is newer in cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1327908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
