Hi Erich; I disagree with a few of your decisions, mainly because they put a lot of extra work upon the dude instead get it once forever right in the upgrade script. I'll explain in the text...

True but also extra work, maybe there is a better solution which can be added to the upgrade script (the firmware to load is in /lib/firmware) > - the kernel version numbers are removed from the kernel file names. > There is no way for upgrade to guess the version number, so we need a > generic name for the kernel files. A lot of extra work; And why do you even need the version? Just remove the suffix from linux-xxx.
