Any ideas why this fails? Filesystem is mounted, file is readable...
Is the firmware path set correctly in the kernel config? In "Device
Drivers->Generic Driver Options", set "Firmware blobs root directory" to
"/lib/firmware" and build a new kernel.
If that was already set, try to include the firmware in the kernel by
setting "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary" to
"rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw" (the firmware root directory above still needs
to be "/lib/firmware").
