---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stefanik Gábor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 11:50 PM Subject: Re: b4306 issues with b43legacy To: Francois Schauber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Try extracting to /lib/firmware/`uname -r` (cd there to see if it exists, if not, mkdir it - it will not actually be called "`uname -r`", but "2.6.24..." the version of your kernel). Ubuntu tends to put firmware there. Udev can't cause "unable to load firmware" errors.
