And this is what I did. 1. I put the firmware in /lib/firmware/ 2. in /lib/modules/2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64/build/ ran "make menuconfig" as root, enabled the relevant kernel module. then did a "modprobe <driver>" and I was up and running. :) Hope this helps. (btw I got the firmware from kernel.org, maybe you can look there for an updated version? ) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
