Is there some documentation to show the steps needed to support 
loading firmware? 

I'm the current maintainer of the G4L project, and it includes 9 
kernels in the cd image, but the required firmware from users has 
been very limited, so it has just been building them into each 
kernel, but just had a situation were adding signal files didn't solve 
the problem. So, just added all the firmware from the bnx2x 
directory of the lnux-firmware to the kernel build and that did work, 
but it increased the kernel size from 8.7M to 12.5M. 

Once before I had tried to put firmware on the filesystem, but in 
the test it then didn't find it, so went back to what had worked by 
putting it in the kernel itself.

Don't know if it is a kernel option I have set or not set correctly?
If it is a busybox setting that isn't set correctly?
If it is something missing in the init.d rcS script?

I don't have any hardware that requires firmware, so setting up 
test is difficult. 

Thanks.
