Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of what policy was for firmware. As far as I can tell this firmware is all non-free, for example it appears to come from this repo https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware- nonfree and be in a non-free package in debian: https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-brcm80211. You would have to let me know what constitutes upstream for linux-firmware.
At this time I'm just investigating why we see regular failures on some of our devices when attempting to connect to APs in our certification lab, but haven't been able to identify any cause or solid reproduction scenario as yet. Given I spotted this information I thought I would raise it in case it was an omission. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828564 Title: Update brcmfmac43455-sdio for rpi3b+/a+ Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The firmware identified is used on Raspberry Pi devices that are reference devices for Ubuntu Core.
