SRU Justification:

Impact: The firmware is needed for users to be able to use the wireless card. Without the firmware a user would have to go without wireless or download the firmware from elsewhere first.

How Addressed: Adding the firmware to the linux-firmware package fixes the issue.

Patch: Please see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=cndougla/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=fd2b78a22a30f01d7b86409a0cbe9a820f715f3e.

Reproduction: Boot with latest Lucid image on affected hardware. Wireless will not function.

Regression Potential: Practically zero as the firmware is new and does not overwrite existing files.
