I wanted to see if the firmware was loaded at the end of the LFS phase. And, what do you know, it isn't. It says 'failed to load firmware iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode' even though I've told it to include it in the kernel. The relevant bit of the .config file: CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER=y CONFIG_DEBUG_DEVRES=y So now I have to play around to see if I can get iwlwifi to find the firmware. I wonder why it isn't using the .config values? I must have missed something.
