As I mentioned in the original email to LKML about -git8, and in the first CC to netdev about -git10, I appear to have these files in /lib/firmware/tigon. I save every single .config file I used in the last, what, four years ?
.config-2.6.28-git10:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git11:CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y .config-2.6.28-git2:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git3:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git4:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git5:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git6:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git7:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set .config-2.6.28-git8:# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set
-git-2 through -git-7 work -git8 and -git10 don't work -git11 works
Clearly the requirement changed in -git8, AFAICS.
thanks,
