Loading device firmware in kickstart

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

We've built a kickstart image (initrd.img) with custom modules to support the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless card (it uses the "ipw2200" module). As we've had experience with this before, getting the module itself to load wasn't too hard, however in order for the card to work it needs to load a firmware image as well. We believe that part is failing.

What I've tried to do is put the firmware files in the same spot under the "initrd" image as on a normal multi-user system, namely "/lib/firmware". However as best as we can tell this isn't working.

We are going to try "/etc/firmware" as well, however I thought someone might have had some experience with this before, so I am trying this list. Does someone have some advice here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

			- Matt
