IE, /tmp could be mounted as tmpfs, which is writable. then they could: a) change the firmware path from /lib/firmware to /tmp/firmware b) have a symlink in /lib/firmware/b43 to /tmp/firmware/b43 c) etc...
you see this is a solvable problem. the next thing is that most boot cd's already HAVE a writeable / thx to unionfs / tmpfs or simmilar things. > -- Thomas Ilnseher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
