And if some new udev version will not work, we can just revert=20 back to older working... No need to use super-uber-fantastic=20 systemd-udevd software which removing old useful code. So looks like adding new rule file to udev for handling firmware=20 requests from kernel could work... =2D-=20 Pali Roh=C3=A1r pali.rohar@gmail.com --nextPart3920280.KLWdcTxFn6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlSC/dsACgkQi/DJPQPkQ1LW0wCdHNXDxWf9cplGRZ/UoMOq/0AA 5g0AnAt0Mc6UgJCnsqCOORi2jzB2XkjA =PR6b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3920280.KLWdcTxFn6-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
