Where to obtain the carl open source firmware?

Where to obtain the carl open source firmware?

[Justin Piszcz]

Hi,

Since kernel.org is down and the new kernel (3.x) does not work with the 
older firmware, where can one obtain the firmware for this open source 
device so I can run the 3.x kernel?

As Sedat has already pointed out the 1.9.4 firmware binary is hosted
on the wiki-site [Thankfully, Pavel Roskin uploaded it there a while
ago. Who would have tought that it was a good idea... now we know it
sort of is.]

I'll restore the git tree once kernel.org is back in place. Until then
I guess we can stick to email, the source is just around 140 kb packed.

I think the current head is:
d1dbdf395b7ee5330b22008ba7c2cc704e157229 "config: import latest kconfig"

1.9.4 has:
a1d719850538748c7087876a8bce0e3597ca461f "carl9170 firmware: update version to 1.9.4"

I have put 1.9.2 on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170
as well.  It's still recommended for all released kernels.  As I
understand, Linux 3.1 will need 1.9.4 (according to
CARL9170FW_VERSION_GIT in 3.1-rc8), so I'm going to add that to the
Wiki.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks! I'll give 1.9.4 a spin with 3.1-rc8.
