I think tg3 is better suited for using request_firmware(). well thanks that would help us a lot, we have to strip the firmware for Debian for the upcoming Lenny release. as the shipping exception for the previous 2 releases will not be granted again. so a separate firmware would be great. also afaik only some boards need it. it is a pressing need for us as tg3 with stripped firmware of course doesn't build. -- maks - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
