If the goal is to boot a diskless Linux box (who supports those?) using a USB networking device that needs firmware download before it can be used ... that'd be _exactly_ analagous to needing to boot from a disk controller that needs firmware downloaded before it will work. In both cases, if the boot ROM doesn't download it, then the system won't boot. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
