http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11645 ------- Comment #6 from andrew.vasquez@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-09-25 08:26 ------- Nerijus, I'm not very familiar with Debian and their support for a driver's use of the request_firmware() interface. Looking at the codes 2.6.24 debian-sources, the qla2xxx driver is in fact already using request_firmware(). Loading of firmware is handled behind the scenes for driver, a call is made within the driver and the requisite kernel-space/user-space dialogue occurs via kobject messages and reading/writing to sysfs nodes. You can see that being done here (2.6.25): Sep 25 13:08:12 ameba kernel: [72135.637331] firmware: requesting ql2300_fw.bin Sep 25 13:08:22 ameba kernel: [72145.634358] qla2xxx 0000:04:04.0: Firmware image unavailable. Is the driver being loaded from an initramfs image? Has the firmware been built into that image? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
