#61089 — Bug#900036: firmware-nonfree: Buster kernel needs updated (upstream) firmware versions

X-Debbugs-Cc: geoff@infradead.org
Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20170823-1
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable

The current firmware-nonfree package is out of date and does not include
firmware files the drivers in the Buster kernel require.

Specifically, the Buster kernel driver (qede) for QLogic network adapters needs
firmware 'qed_init_values_zipped-8.33.1.0.bin', which is available in the
upstream kernel firmware from commit [1], but this is not included in the
current firmware-nonfree package.

This situation makes it very difficult for users trying to netboot install to
machines with QLogic network adapters (Cavium Thunder2).

From the kernel log:

  qede 0000:0a:00.0: firmware: failed to load qed/qed_init_values_zipped-8.33.1.0.bin
