Summary: Review Request: iwl4965-firmware - Firmware for Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965 A/G/N network adaptors https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248224 ------- Additional Comments From kwizart@xxxxxxxxx 2007-07-26 10:24 EST ------- I think there is a missunderstanding about the alternative: When an update of the firmware is avaible, it takes the newer version of the firmware (this is not a user choice at this step, because of the priority field is upper with a newer version - tested) Also updating the symlink when the interface is used; this won't lead to problems as the firmware is already loaded, (it might be problematic if there is firmware reload but there will be also with package upgrade )... This method is compatible with both non-versionned-firmwares used by kernel and (if later avaible) versionned-firmwares used by kernel. If versionned_firmware methode exist, then the alternatives method will only be usefull for non-versionned_firmware kernels. And users will need to run alternatives --config iwl4965-firmware before to reboot with the relative kernel... Of cource, the better way is to have versionned firmwares into kernel for iwlwifi (and maybe others), But if there is one, there is still the same question we raised for compat-kernel without versionned firmware we will have to solve...) TODO: Have support for parrallele installable firmwares via yum (same as kernel) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
