To build it in, you need to edit the kernel config (menuconfig is fine, but check the resultsby looking at .config afterwards : if you start from nothing, it can sometimes end up a bit strange. For an old radeon with only 3 items of firmware, I have in the .config # # Firmware loader # CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R600_rlc.bin radeon/RS780_pfp.bin radeon/RS780_me.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" # CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is not set i.e.: enable the loader provide a space-separated list of subdirectory/blob items tell it all firmware is in /lib/firmware HTH ĸen -- Before the universe began, there was a sound.
