I have made a system based on the lfs-book. Then I added net-tools,
wireless_tools.
Now I try to install the ipw2200 driver for my wireless card, but it
fail. My current configuration is:
kernel 2.6.12.4
ieee80211 1.0.2
ipw2200 1.0.6
Before compiling the ipw2200 driver i looked in the
/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent file and get the FIRMWARE directory:
/lib/firmware. So I copied the files in this location.
I don't understand why it works on my Debian System and with the same
configuration (kernel config file, and programm versions) on my new
build lfs system it fails.
What version of udev are you running? Since about udev-060 or so udev now sets
itself as the default hotplug handler. This has broken firmware loading. The
solution is to compile udev like so
make EXTRAS=extras/firmware &&
make EXTRAS=extras/firmware install
and then write a udev rule to load the firmware, something like this
ACTION="add", DRIVER="ipw2200", PROGRAM="/sbin/firmware_helper"
More info in man udev and the file docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html in the
udev source tarball
