First of all: I apologize, as I made a mistake: I build my scratch-system on the basis of the LFS 6.0-book, wich unfortunately does_not_include the hotplug system. LFS 6.1 does. So now I first installed hotplug-2004_09_23, then I created /lib/firmware and I put all ipw-2.4-x.fw files in it. Now at least I have an /etc/hotplug directory and all the files I was missing. However, I still get the error message "ipw-2.4-boot.fw load failed:Reason -2" Following all the instructions, I noticed, that I dont have a sysfs-system mounted on /sys, although this instruction is included in /etc/fstab. What is the matter with this ? Could this be the reason for my failure ? Again, thank you very much for your help, also for Andrew Bentons comments. Yes, I compiled my driver into the kernel. I installed "hotplug", but not "firmwarehotplug", does it matter ? Thanks for hints and wishes for a good week, Edgar -- --------------------- Dr.-Ing.
