For your audio devices there is next to no chance that the firmware has changed. The firmware is provided by the vendor, and usually most vendors don't change it unless they have to (If you really care about this then hash all the files in /lib/firmware before and after and see what changed).
In this particular case whomever built the kernel package used an older version of make-kpkg that does not put firmware into /lib/firmware/<kernel version> directories. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFK8dT6wRXgH3rKGfMRAqb9AJ9T0zCC1NzpL67rkcP4K1IZ+ARJAQCbBJSO QfIC40UYgHQ3y+9WuYPNA3o= =ohhL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
