You can do: # wget http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER03272920/1/9350_Network_Driver_XMJK7_WN32_12.0.1.720_A00.EXE # 7z e 9350_Network_Driver_XMJK7_WN32_12.0.1.720_A00.EXE Win32/BCM4350C5_003.006.007.0095.1703.hex # hex2hcd BCM4350C5_003.006.007.0095.1703.hex # mv -vf BCM4350C5_003.006.007.0095.1703.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM-0a5c-6412.hcd # modprobe -r btusb; sleep 1; modprobe btusb However, as stated above, I don't think we're allowed to distribute the firmware this way. P. I am thinking we re-assign this to Charles. Dell is usually pretty good about making sure the firmware vendors they work with, push the firmware publicly. Thoughts?

Looks like a licensing issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1599154 As noted by prarit, there are redistribution problems with the firmware that cannot be addressed as the vendor is out of that business. |
