  The current linux-firmware package for Precise and above contains non-

  re-released under a free software license. More information at

  atheros-chip.

  Recent firmware files can be obtained from http://jxself.org/ath9k-

  Please consider updating these two firmware files in a package update
  for supported Ubuntu versions when possible.
