As a followup to a discussion on [arch-general] in the Linux 2.6.34 thread ([1] and others), I think we should do the following:
- Create a linux-firmware package from the linux-firmware.git tree. - Make that package conflict and replace all other firmware that it obsoletes: replaces=('kernel26-firmware' 'ar9170-fw' 'iwlwifi-1000-ucode' 'iwlwifi-3945-ucode' 'iwlwifi-4965-ucode' 'iwlwifi-5000-ucode' 'iwlwifi-5150-ucode' 'iwlwifi-6000-ucode' 'rt2870usb-fw' 'rt2x00-rt61-fw' 'rt2x00-rt71w-fw') All other firmware packages contain only files that are not part of linux-firmware. - Remove the firmware from the kernel26 PKGBUILD, only use the linux-firmware package instead
I'm putting a package with the according conflicts/replaces to testing. Please comment, test it thoroughly and give feedback.

Apparently, replaces= won't work until we remove the kernel26-firmware package. We can do that on the next kernel rebuild. Please run pacman -S linux-firmware manually for now.
