Bug Description

The version of linux-firmware in lucid-updates is 1.34.7.

This lacks an update to the ath3k driver which was released in the git.kernel.org firmware repo on December 13, 2010. See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=history;f=ath3k-1.fw;h=63aa9b9ad87d3d918e441d921ada9cad08687ae5;hb=HEAD for the commit to the upstream repo.

This is necessary to support USB-BT211 devices. We've verified that failing devices start working when the upstream firmware is dropped in place of the older one in lucid-updates.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702375 is the corresponding bug in RedHat, for example.

Can the lucid-updates version of linux-firmware please be updated to include this newer firmware?
