** Description changed: [ Impact ] - Noble will soon get linux-hwe-7.0 which needs some updated and new - firmware. + The HWE kernel in Noble will soon transition to 7.0. That kernel comes + with drivers that need firmware which is not currently present in + Noble's linux-firmware. The kernel/drivers might not function properly + as a result of that. + + [ Fix ] + + Add missing firmware for kernel 7.0. + + [ Test Case ] + + Manual review of changes only. The update will bring in lots of + firmwares for all kinds of drivers and hardware that we don't have at + hand, so no real testing is possible. + + [ Where Problems Could Occur ] + + As always with firmware, problems can show up at boot when firmware is + loaded or anytime at runtime when firmware is exercised. Symptoms: + Kernel crashes, hangs, stalls, stack traces, performance degradation, + connectivity issues, and many more. + + These changes should *not* affect users of the GA 6.8 kernel. + + [ Notes ] + + This bug is specifically for missing firmwares for kernel 7.0 and + doesn't address the fact that some currently existing firmware might be + too old for kernel 7.0. This bug is *not* update updating such firmware.
