kernel-firmware in Factory is out of date

Kernel-desktop:
Kernel-firmware: linux-firmware-20130714git.tar.bz2 27.2 MB 8 months ago

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/kernel-firmware

I can’t use my headset without the updated kernel-firmware, also other things may not work as well.

Well, file a bugreport at http://bugzilla.novell.com/ (same username/password).
Or write a mail to the opensuse-factory mailing list. (opensuse-factory@opensuse.org)

I doubt that mentioning this here will change anything…

If you want to acquire the latest firmware, use the following commands:


sudo zyppeer install git
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

You may then copy the files you want into /lib/firmware.

Her e is the bug:
