Title:
  "ngene_18.fw" missing in linux-firmware-nonfree

Status in “linux-firmware-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “linux-firmware-nonfree” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  - needs testing by someone with the right hardware

  RISK POTENTIAL:
  - low, the ngene cards are broken currently without the firmware so little that can break more

  
  The firmware version "ngene_18.fw" is needed for "ngene.ko" in all Precise kernels, thankfully the these rock solid bits did found their way into upstream kernel.

  But in linux-firmware-nonfree is only "ngene_fw.15", "ngene_fw.17"
  included. These to files could be dropped from my point of view, 15
  ist far to old and hopefully not used anymore w/ Precise and 17 is
  unstable, it has IMHO never been officially released by the
  manufacturer.
