The firmware file is also in git and can be downloaded over HTTP via
gitweb. This is done in the prism2-usb-firmware-installer.postinst.

For reference, until we get these instructions somewhere in the package:

1. Download http://git.shaftnet.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-wlan-ng.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/prism2/ru010803.hex;hb=HEAD
2. Copy it to /lib/firmware/ru010803.hex
3. Install prism2-usb-firmware-installer (or run dpkg-reconfigure
prism2-usb-firmware-installer if it is already installed).

Actually these instructions are already displayed if the
prism2-usb-firmware-installer postinst fails to download the firmware
file, just without the URL which I can add for a start.
