I've reimplemented Alexander's shell scripts for firmware loading in C and added a udev rule to automatically trigger the loading[1]. Thanks to Sergey's hint I've added checksumming support so it should work on other firmwares as well. The firmware needs to be obtained somehow and then put in /lib/firmware/gobi, but should then automatically load when the device is ready. You can download this at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/ [1] The firmware to be loaded depends on the user's network, so I can't think of an especially clean way of doing this in kernel. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
