Will it be necessary for me to write any user space handler to load
firmware after copying ti_3410.fw to /lib/firmware ?
or selecting FW_LOADER=y and CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y will do the
job its own, and I don't need to invoke
any user space handler manually.

I am getting firmware loading error, may be because firmware
(ti_3410.fw) is not right for my device(eZ430-RF2480)
or I am missing anything.
FYI, I am using ubuntu with kernel v2.6.24

Thanks for your help.

Shivdas Gujare
