I've set in the kernel config: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y Although I don't see the asked file in initramfs. The file with full path is /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw: # zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30.4-dgb | cpio -t | grep bnx2 lib/modules/2.6.30.4-dgb/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko 300859 blocks Whereupon this variable is set to 'y' would not have to be sufficient? <just_guessing> 1) Perhaps firmware must be in some other directory. 2) Perhaps there is no access to the FS in /lib at the moment that loads drivers. </just_guessing> Thanks for your reply.
