RHEA-2009:1254 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
rt73usb-firmware enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rt73usb-firmware package that addresses a packaging issue is now
available.
Description
The rt73usb-firmware package contains the firmware required by the rt73usb
driver in the kernel
The rt73usb driver is not included in the IBM S/390 and IBM System z kernels.
Previously, however, rt73usb-firmware -- an architecture-independent (noarch)
package containing firmware required by the rt73usb driver -- was
automatically but unnecessarily included in the IBM S/390 and IBM System z
distributions. For this update, the rt73usb-firmware package spec file was
edited to include a 'ExcludeArch: s390 s390x' line. Consequently, although
rt73usb-firmware is still a noarch package, it is no longer shipped with
the IBM S/390 and IBM System z distributions.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
