Description Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2009-11-14 05:52:55 UTC 
This ebuild contains the linux-firmware ripped from the latest git kernel for use with your devices.  This is often required for users of backported modules.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
linux-firmware ebuilds are only snapshots, and old ones at that

Expected Results:  
some backported modules (like those from compat-wireless) may need newer firmware than you have installed
