The firmware is getting installed and it's correct. Most times people don't need to worry about which firmware they have, and if they do they can consult the WHENCE file installed in /usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
