I put the firmware file in the firmware dir of the kernel src tree and changed CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR accordingly and recompiled. And it worked. Why it didn't work in /lib/firmware I don't know but I'm going to keep a close eye on it as I add BLFS packages - particularly after I've recompiled systemd to add gudev support. jb. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
