IMO the standard way is to use request_firmware like for ath3k: request_firmware(&firmware, "ath3k-1.fw", &udev->dev) > So I guess add those to bluez would be better. Most probably that "firmware loader" might be implemented in module as for other devices as it is usually just a sequence of HCI commands. Have a look at other BCM modules in drivers/bluetooth/bcm* Best regards Andrei Emeltchenko > > > Description: Firmware for Linux kernel drivers > > This package provides firmware used by Linux kernel drivers. > > > > Do not know about "firmware-loader", probably we need to use available tools. > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
