Re: Possible PEBKAC bug for fwget(8)?

Hi Emmanuel,

Awesome! Thank you for going out of your way.

I will keep in mind of the "-v -n" usage.

Thanks again,
Kenneth

 Thanks for reporting, it's fixed now in
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=c81495a621c461b3d3395a7c5b0e73458201c443

 Note that -vn will not work but -v -n will, switching to getopt(1)
should fix that but I don't plan to work on that right now.

 Cheers,

Whilst you probably don't have a full-size PCI or PCIe connector in
your laptop, it's very likely that it has a Mini PCIe connector for
the WiFi adapter.  Even without that, there are virtual PCI buses
inside your CPU chip - have a look at the output of "pciconf -lv".

Possible PEBKAC bug for fwget(8)?

[Kenneth Raplee]

Hi folks,

I was made aware of the fwget(8) utility on IRC after mentioning how I 
supplemented a missing amdgpu firmware from the gpu-firmware-kmod package for 
my RX 6600 XT from the linux-firmware git repo in order to load the amdgpu 515 
driver without the screen freezing at boot.

When I tried running `fwget -vn pci`, it only prints out the following usage 
info:

```
Usage: fwget [options] [subsystem]

Supported subsystems
  pci

Options:
  -n-- Do not install package, only print the results
  -v-- More verbose
```

I tried running the command other ways, outputs the same thing.

I didn't think this was worth reporting as a bug since it seems like a minor 
fix.
