I wonder where it is. My hardware does not work with 3.19 or 4.0 kernels and
firmware API 10 or 12, which means I have to remove them from /lib/firmware
or else no working wifi. I guess it must be related

$ sudo lshw -C network

It times out authorization with the 10 or 12 firmwares in linuxwireless.org.
I wonder where to report the bug.
