[Bug 1101636] Re: LICENSE.aic94xx-seq in linux-firmware - is this firmware distributable?

 

What is one to do, with a server with a aic-94xx controller? Ubuntu
12.10 was fine then I upgraded then it would not boot. Had to boot with
old kernel

Went to do a fresh install of 14.04 and it did not find any drives cause
the RAID was enabled on the aic-94xx.
