> [Impact]
> 
>  * Missing firmware for Intel ICE driver on Bionic,
>    which is supported by the HWE kernel from Focal.
> 
> [Fix]
> 
>  * commit 9ae61e7d8658 ("ice: Add package file for Intel E800 series driver")
>    brings the Bionic package in line with Focal (ice-1.3.4.0.pkg,LICENSE.ice)
> 
> [Test Case]
> 
>  * Without firmware:
> 
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: firmware 5.4.5 api 1.7.6 nvm 2.40 0x8000706a 0.0.0 build 0x391f7640
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: Direct firmware load for intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg failed with error -2
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: The DDP package file was not found or could not be read. Entering Safe Mode
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: Package download failed. Advanced features disabled - Device now in Safe Mode
> 
>  * With firmware:
> 
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: firmware 5.4.5 api 1.7.6 nvm 2.40 0x8000706a 0.0.0 build 0x391f7640
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: The DDP package was successfully loaded: ICE OS Default Package version 1.3.4.0
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: DCB is enabled in the hardware, max number of TCs supported on this port are 8
>     ice 0000:98:00.0: FW LLDP is disabled, DCBx/LLDP in SW mode.
> 
> [Where problems could occur]
> 
>  * Systems with devices managed by the ice driver on Bionic HWE kernel from Focal.
> 
>  * The firmware enables advanced features, increasing driver exposure and device activity.
> 
>  * This has been available on Focal, which helps with some chance of issues being hit and
>    reported previously (e.g. bug 1939855, searched for 'kernel ice driver' on bugs.lp.net).
