main/linux-firmware: Fails to download brcmfmac43430-sdio.{txt,bin}
This affects at least linux-firmware-20180110-r0 (currently in aports/master).
The URL https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/master/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt yields an HTTP 404.
I tried to find a commit in https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree that contained brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt (at that location), in order to pin the URL to that commit instead of “master”, but couldn’t.
Possible solutions:
- Update the BCM43430 firmware to a newer version from that repo.
- Remove the BCM43430 firmware from linux-firmware, essentially reverting commit 46edfde1 (“main/linux-firmware: update firmware for rpi3 wifi”)
- Split the BCM43430 firmware into its own package (possibly under the non-free/ directory), and update the firmware to avoid the 404.
Thanks for maintaining Alpine!
