I thought about writing a generic firmware module using the new FreeBSD API which reads firmware files from a certain directory using fp_open(). However, it seems that available firmware images need to be announced with firmware_register() to make them available, so I would need some sort of opendir() in kernel to scan the firmware directory and register the available files with firmware_register(). Alternatively we could adjust subr_firmware.c to trigger a file read attempt in case the requested image has not yet been registered. Cheers, Johannes
