But in order to do that (and to have the cover recognized), I noticed that the file linux-***/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h in the kernel from kernel.org is missing.

I was wondering what the reasoning behind this is, because we can not have the Type Cover 3 recognized with the LiveCD while installing (and so installing without a keyboard is a major hassle). Not to mention, kcbench draws in over 500 MB with a dnf update. > > Maybe you could explain a bit more what you're trying to do here. The > existence of a .h file doesn't provide a device driver.

You should probably ask Marvell why the sd8801* and > sd8787* files are not upstream yet. They are, we ship them in the libertas-sd8787-firmware package :-) _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
