Excuse me, I have some questions about the firmware patch.
1. I should convert the data into the binary files (.bin). Is it right?
2. Where should I update the firmware files? Is the path the
linux-2.6/firmeware?
However, according to linux-2.6/firmeware/README.AddingFirmware, I
should
update they to another repository:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
Then, how the firmware merge with kernel-2.6? Or, where could I find the
firmware
in the kernel-2.6 repository?
Best Regards,
Hayes
