Similar for brcm/brcmfmac4350-pcie.bin. An updated firmware package would be very useful.

I have just built linux-firmware based on the code available from :

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/

and uploaded the requested files to:

http://elrepo.org/people/akemi/testing/el7/firmware/

Please test if they work. Your feedback appreciated.

I installe kernel and download firmware and my host boot and start successfully.

Need I update linux-firmware rpm or must I download the firmware ont each server ?

We have yet to figure out the best way to offer the linux-firmware package. As a whole, it is very big. Providing the individual firmware files will be more convenient. We will update the status hopefully soon.

The brcmfmac4350-pcie.bin file looks good to me.

I'll just note for the record that there are some issue with that firmware, but it's better than nothing. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103201

We can rebuild once they've published a fixed version.

We have decided to publish the linux-firmware and associated packages to the elrepo-extras repository. Extras - because they overwite the distro files.
