Agreed. My experiences with linux-firmware are that they are justifiably particular about the license. My first attempt was with in-line firmware for the staging driver r8712u that had been distributed in a header file under GPL V2. That source compiled into a binary was not acceptible. After Realtek sent me their license that clearly gave the right to redistribute their firmware, my contribution was immediately accepted. I have since add 4 more Realtek firmware files under the same license. All were accepted without delay. Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Thanks. These would be the correct files. The ones on ralinktech.com are probably outdated, as Ralink doesn't seem to be that diligent to update the firmware that can be downloaded from their web-site as new versions come out. Usually the latest versions of the firmware are included in the newer versions of the Linux drivers they post on their website. --- Gertjan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

I had asked Ralink guys in private mail a while ago and they said the files on ralinktech.com.tw are older. The current versions are those posted for linux-firmware. (Actually I complained because each of the driver packages contains a different version of the firmware, it's not very clear which one is the latest one on the Ralink download site.) Also, if you look at rt2800_check_firmware(), it seems some of the firmware files are actually multiple different firmware images packaged in one file. I think this makes versioning even more confusing. Johannes ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

I think we can safely assume that these testing reports are on the files that I sent yesterday, but for completeness the md5sums are 75a1da3caa0b1c95e81dfba207f834c6 rt2860.bin 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9 rt2870.bin The version numbers are 34.00 for rt2860.bin and 29.00 for rt2870.bin.
