The fxload I don't agree. If people are writing their own EZ-USB in their driver, there is a problem somewhere.
There even some "generic" EZ-USB firmware loader in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-firmware.c or driver/usb/serial/ezusb.c Matthieu PS : other driver implementing their loaders : driver/usb/atm/ueagle-atm.c driver/usb/misc/emi26.c driver/usb/misc/emi62.c driver/usb/serial/ezusb.c drivers/media/video/dabusb.c drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-firmware.c ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
