Unfortunately the current driver requires that the firmware
be available on the filesystem, loaded via the kernel firmware
interface, when the driver kernel module loads.

This makes using the driver in a static kernel without an attached
root ramfs containing the firmware basically impossible.

The drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/Kconfig help text explains where to
obtain the firmware from.

Thank you for this clear explanation. I'll give another try with an
initramfs and see if it helps.
