If you want udev to load firmware, you'll need the firmware_helper.
Compile udev with
make EXTRAS="extras/firmware"
make EXTRAS="extras/firmware" install
OK, I did so. But nothing special happens: the /EXTRA=extra/firmware directory
is empty. "lsmod" shows ipw2200 but nothing about an firmware. Also, there
are not error messages. Is that OK ? How can I see if the firmware was
loaded ?
Sorry for asking so detailed, but I could not find neat instructions, probably
due to the fact that the issue is very new.
Have you added a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules to call the
firmware_helper to load the firmware? Something like
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", RUN+="/sbin/firmware_helper"
If you're using a version of udev since 075 it will have installed the
firmware_helper in /lib/udev so that rule should be
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", RUN+="/lib/udev/firmware_helper"
