With all the firmware updates and additional firmware blob's, I was worried about the size of each extension.  Really a false alarm as there's little difference in the above networking firmware extensions and their predecessors, +/- 1MiB or so..

I was also worried about the naming convention, eg getting mixed up with previous versions.  However, have found of these new and updated firmware extensions which I can test, they appear compatible with drivers of earlier core builds, but I don't have hardware to test all. 
Maybe this is expected, but I'm saying here that these updated firmware extensions may provide additional hardware support for tc-4.x as well as tc-5.x

phew! finished remaining firmware already

edit updated list

curaga:
coreplayer2, thanks for taking the effort to update all firmware.

I did play a bit with alpha2, until now it works fine and also great in boot speed.

Is the choice of kernel 3.8.x already definite? (it is in EOL phase; eventhough there is no other later kernel version marked as longterm supported one)

I did visit the link mentioned in a previous message of this thread where the kernel config was to be found. No patches. Does this mean that no TC specific patches will be needed for TC 5.x? If so then the actual choice will be no limit for later kernel versions. I had no luck with TC 4.x in applying any kernel version without the distributed patches (OK, except the logo patch which is optional).
