Have a disk-image project that users kernel.org kernels, and have had users that require firmware that is not included in the kernel.org source. I've been able to find it in linux-firmware.git and then manually adding it to the kernel.org firmware directory and then modifying the Makefile. Had seen something that was suppose to be working on getting firmware out of the kernel, but that process seems to have been dormant for some time. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
