If you read about how udev works you can run it manually from the command line once you figure out how to set up all of the environment variables it needs. That should let you debug what is happening. As far as I know firmware loading works on ARM processors, there's just some piece missing on your set up.
The firmware code might want /proc/bus/usb mounted (you need to turn on the kernel option to make sure it is built into the USB driver). mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb It's not supposed to need this. The udev rule looks like this: SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware_helper" firmware_helper needs to be on the path. DId you build firmware_helper as an ARM binary? Add some debug messages to firmware_helper. This is what you should see: usb 5-3.5: request_fw_file() fw name zd1211/zd1211b_ub usb 5-3.5: upload_firmware() firmware device id 0x4810 is equal to the actual device id usb 5-3.5: request_fw_file() fw name zd1211/zd1211b_uphr usb 5-3.5: upload_code() transfer size 4096 usb 5-3.5: upload_code() transfer size 1024 usb 5-3.5: upload_code() firmware confirm return value 0x01 -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
