Would have to talk to some alsa folks. David Woodhouse is working on firmware packaging. He just did a new package: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dwmw2/firmware/linux-firmware-20090319.tar.bz2 Tim, you might want to ask if he's going to put the ALSA firmware in there. ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
