--- Begin Message ---Source: r8168 Version: 8.039.00-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream The functions rtl8168_hw_mac_mcu_config() and rtl8168_init_hw_phy_mcu() appear to apply patches to the firmware running in microcontrollers on the network controllers. This C code is rather unlikely to be the preferred form for modification of the firmware. So this package currently does not have correct licence information, nor does it belong in main. The in-tree driver, r8169, uses request_firmware() to load the PHY firmware patches from disk, and the PHY firmware patches are packaged in firmware-realtek. If you were to make a similar change in this package, it could probably stay in main. I don't think it patches the MAC firmware but perhaps I missed that.
