In this case you might want to know that I’ve had a side-quest of rewriting the firmware packaging entirely: - the firmware WHENCE file groups firmware into logical groups - kernel modules declare in the ELF what firmware they load So it should be possible to: - add provides to the firmware packages - automatically generate dependencies from kernel module packages to firmware packages - automatically generate firmware packaging driven by WHENCE instead of having to hand-maintain packaging WIth the end result that installing a kernel module results in the right firmware being pulled in. Magic! This is very much WIP but if you want to help test and work on it, then that would be welcome. My ugly work-in-progress branch can be found in openembedded-core-contrib, ross/wip/autofirmware.
