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 firmware for these devices (as well as an attempt to define some minimal prioritization criteria for such efforts) by making information more easily accessible and better organized. --Felipe Sanches

This list of devices is based on the linux-libre-4.12.7-gnu.log file. It is similar to the old list that used to be published at http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/firmware but it aims at more detailed technical info.

Use this template when starting a wiki-page about a new device. Also, try to save backup copies of the relevant info found on external websites using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, since simply using plain URLs can lead to future loss of information.
