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- kernel-firmware
Tools for loading/extracting/dealing with firmware
Firmware being packaged
- bluez-firmware - Bluetooth firmware distributed by the BlueZ project
- kernel-firmware - firmware files for use with Linux kernel
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.
Networking Devices
- 3Com Bluetooth Wireless PC Card 3CRWB6096
- Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB

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.
