    I did not find any mention of ath9k-htc firmware in the list of
    packages you identified for this apptoach,

    Sure, that package is in main, so doesn't need to move from non-free to non-free-firmware so wasn't on that list. :)


    Kibi,

    I think that there has previously been a request from the maintainer to
    move that package into the free firmware package from main so that it is installed when someone installs the firmware-linux-free bundle.

    That makes sense as a starting point if you're looking for packages that provide firmware.

    All best, as ever,

    Andy Cater

    which made me ask for this. Sorry for the noise

    No worries!


    Cheers,

    It's on our list to look at, ACK.

    That'd be a topic for firmware-linux-free maintainers then, not for me
    (or the installer team).

    And no, that's not at all what was requested in #900171.

    And all that is orthogonal to the ongoing work.
