Hi Peter, the package name should be "linux-firmware" or similar. I'm not using Debian but it can see the file in the git repo here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git… If there's no package for your distribution, you can just download the file from there.

Roger, Jannis, thank you for your kind replies and hints! Installed bitstream.fw firmware.fw and loader.fw into /usr/lib/firmware/ but am still getting the same errors upon connecting the card in dmesg/journalctl: emi26 - firmware loader 1-1.2:1.0: emi26_probe start usb 1-1.2: firmware: failed to load emi26/loader.fw (-2) usb 1-1.2: Direct firmware load for emi26/loader.fw failed with error -2 usb 1-1.2: emi26_load_firmware - error loading firmware: error = -2 emi26 - firmware loader: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -5 usbcore: registered new interface driver emi26 - firmware loader I also tried installed firmware-linux-nonfree which on Debian is nowadays only a metapackage relying mainly on /firmware-misc-nonfree which does not contain files for emi26 anymore. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-misc-nonfree One of the very few related web searches brings this up http://fedora.riscv.rocks:3000/davidlt/kernel-ark/commit/16c23f7d88cbcce491… but I am not sure if I am affected by it or if the commit ever made it into Debian... Any other hints well appreciated! Thanks again! * Roger <gurusonic(a)gmail.com> [2022-11-30 23:37]: > I had replied but forgot to reply list.
