I have the same kernel config as my laptop which loads intel wifi
firmware from /llib/firmware ok;
# zgrep -i firmware /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set
# Firmware Drivers
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y
# CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set
Firmware blobs root directory is EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR which is only
available once i enable EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but the help for that says;
"This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel, for the
│
│ cases where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it
from
│
│ userspace at runtime"
So that's a workaround, not a fix, but it works so it'll do. Thanks.
