Thanks. We'll update linux-firmware once it lands in the proper git tree.
This one I leave to you to care.
Larry, in this thread you said you were sending the firmware for the rtl8723be devices to dwmw2's firmware tree: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139863070509226&w=2 That tree doesn't actually exist and isn't used any longer. Ben Hutchings maintains the linux-firmware tree now at: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ Did you happen to send the firmware file to him in the iterim?
I tried to send it on April 27, but apparently it was not received. I resent the patch to Ben yesterday. Larry
Great, thanks Larry.
Josh, let me help you once more, before 3.15 arises. :) http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=9341fb9 author Larry Finger <Larry.Finger> 2014-04-27 ... committer Ben Hutchings <ben.uk> 2014-06-03 ... Finally! BTW "This commit provides firmware for the RTL8723CE, which is in kernel 3.15. " should write "This commit provides firmware for the RTL8723BE, which is in kernel 3.15. "
Yes, I already built an updated linux-firmware package with this and noted this bug in it. Thanks.
