hm2 firmware missing in new install 2.9.10 was created by robh
hi all
used live cd to make a new install and update a old machine , it has a 5i20 card in it. but on the new install there is no firmware installs in /lib/firmware
locate hm2 does not show any .bit files
on startup you get
Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
Could not locate firmware "//lib/firmware/hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT". (No such file or directory)
hm2/hm2_5i20.0: firmware hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT not found
the manual says
"search for hostmot2 in the Synaptic Package Manager."
but there is no such package any more
what is the correct fix or this?
just copy old .bit files from old installs?

Second one, download and unzip then copy the missing file to where it is looking for it.
