Hmm...I worry a bit about pointing into archive.org; it's not a sign that we're giving our readers current information. Did anybody ask the LF what happened to that page?
More to the point, though:

If you go into that page, you find that they don't appear to have archived any of the tarballs, so the promised firmware isn't actually there. So we're not really helping people by pointing there. It does appear that this firmware can be found in the linux-firmware repository, though. So that seems like where we should be pointing people...?
Thanks,
jon
