LinuxLibre:Devices that require non-free firmware
From LibrePlanet
This page lists wiki articles that gather info about the devices that require non-free firmware in the kernel Linux. It is intended as a way to foster the development of free firmwares for these devices by making information more easily accessible and better organized. --Felipe Sanches
This list of devices is based on the Linux-Libre 2.6.33 log file. It is similar to http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/firmware but aims at more detailed technical info.
