move wifi firmwares from haiku-files.org

[luroh]

The last remaining files still hosted at haiku-files.org needed for a current build seem to be the wifi firmwares, ​http://www.haiku-files.org/files/wifi-firmwares/

The files affected are: build/jam/OptionalPackages data/bin/install-wifi-firmwares.sh

[kallisti5]

Done.

​https://download.haiku-os.org/wifi-firmwares/

[kallisti5]

Wait... done as the files have been moved over. Not done since the scripts need updated :-)

https is fine for download.haiku-os.org

Is this a stale ticket that may be closed?

[luroh]

Nope.

[pulkomandy]

Should we use github.com/haiku/firmware for this? I wanted to move the files there but I apparently don't have commit access to that repo.

Some of the firmwares we are not even allowed to extract, and others have strict terms about distribution, so check the licenses carefully before doing so.

I'm talking about things that are already hosted at haiku-files, I assume things were done correctly there.

[kallisti5]

Never assume ;-)

Unknowns

• b43's original source location:
  • Unknown license. Likely ok
  • From openwrt: ​http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
  • This appears to be a "wrapper" someone wrote which firmware cutter places the "un-redistributable" broadcom firmware over.
  • Was pointed to ​https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//non-free/b/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta_6.30.223.271-14~bpo10+1_copyright by the openwrt folks. I can't confirm if that covers the wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o file above however.

• marvell's original source location:
  • This is questionable and makes me a bit uneasy.
  • malo-firmware-1.4.tgz unknown, but openbsd appears to be source per ​https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193588
  • Maintainer: Marcus Glocker <mglocker@…>
  • WWW: ​http://www.nazgul.ch/malo/
  • This sounds bad: ​https://www.freshports.org/net/malo-firmware-kmod/pkg-plist

Knowns

• Intel's original source location:
  • ipw2100-fw-1.3.tgz fedora + openbsd redistribs it.
    • as-is, only intel hardware, no reverse engineer. Can redistrib.
  • ipw2200-fw-3.1.tgz fedora + openbsd redistribs it.
    • as-is, only intel hardware, no reverse engineer. Can redistrib.

• realtek
  • urtwn-firmware-1.1p0-2.tgz - Realtek "as-is with copyright"

Firmwares moved to github in hrev54488. Closing the ticket but indeed the marvell firmware situation is not great.
