    iwlwifi: update firmware for 6205
    -LP: #1039856

  * Revert "Revert "UBUNTU: Remove obsolete ti-connectivity firmware""
    The ti-omap4 kernel is now based on 3.5, so dropping obsolete firmware
    files should be OK.

Yingying - I think this firmware is only useful for Precise (3.2.x) and newer. See commit ca9a46056908d3cade6957b3d5b2e698356b29fc

Hello Yingying, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.79.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Sorry for the late response.

I did some testing using Precise and the new linux-firmware package on two laptops with Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 cards, the wireless works good: I tried to switch the connection to different APs and was continuously using system with wireless connection for couple of hours. So far I didn't find any issues.

If you need more data or testing, please let me know.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates.

In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
