Does initrd support request_firmware()?
I've been reading a bunch of messages, and I can't get a clear answer. The reason I ask is that the firmware for my company's network adapter is about 1.2MB, and so compiling it as part of the driver (e.g. "static const char firmware[] = { 0x34, 0x78, 0xa4, ...};") is not something we want to implement. However, we need to support PXE booting, which requires everything to be in initrd.
