Fedora Firmware Special Interest Group
Mission
Goal: to get all legally available firmware needed to get devices to work packaged for / in Fedora so that a users devices which require firmware will just work
We aim to accomplish this goal through a variety of activities:
- Creating packages of firmware
- Contact manufacturers asking them under which conditions their firmware may be redistributed
- Contact manufacturers requesting them to modify their firmware redistribution conditions, to make them Fedora compatible
Available firmware
alsa-firmware- asterisk-firmware - for the Digium S101I (IAXy)
It should be understood that this list is incomplete.
Tools for loading/extracting/dealing with firmware
- alsa-tools-firmware - tools for uploading firmware to some soundcards
Firmware being packaged
- bluez-firmware - Bluetooth firmware distributed by the BlueZ project
- kernel-firmware - firmware files for use with Linux kernel
- openfwwf - Open FirmWare for Broadcom 43xx series WLAN chip
Firmware currently missing from Fedora
Notice that this is just a list of firmware which we would like to see in Fedora, firmware in this list has NOT been checked yet for proper licensing.

Packaging guidelines
In addition to the standard Packaging/Guidelines , it is imported to realise that firmware does not need to be under a free software / oss license. As long as it may be freely redistributed without restriction, it may be packaged.
