Now trying to build the kernel again to check this... For modules, you just need run 'make INSTALL_FW_PATH=/lib/firmare firmware_install'. I should... 1. Change the default to /lib/firmware so that you don't have to set INSTALL_FW_PATH. 2. Add that to the 'make help' text. 3. Look at making 'make modules_install' installl the firmware required by the modules it's installing, so you don't even need to do _anything_ new. -- dwmw2 -- 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/
