since I updated udev to 153-1 the iwlagn module on my notebook is unable
to load the firmware. The files
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-?.ucode
are still where they used to be, but apparently expected elsewhere. I
had to go back to udev#151 to make the wlan working again. It's probably
a configuration problem, but I have no clue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bernd

Problems with iwlagn since udev#153
Hi Bernd,
The link to the firmware is hardcoded in the configure script of udev 152.
I'm sure that also applies to udev 153-1. You might want to manually
change that before compilation.
See [1] for more information (in German).
Regards,
Jan

As you can see, the firmware path is empty. Adding
--with-firmware-path=/lib/firmware
doesn't change anything, nor does adding the parameter
FIRMWARE_PATH=/lib/firmware to the 'make' command. So I'll stick to 151
for the time being (I really need my wlan!):
Greetings,
Bernd

What about adding CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" to your
kernel .config?

Weird. On my system, udev 153 loads the Radeon firmware
(/lib/firmware/radeon/R420_cp.bin) just fine. Sorry for the breakage.
I have reverted the port to udev 151 for now.

I finally got it working. A quick and dirty hack: Insert the line
sed -i -e 's|FIRMWARE_PATH|"/lib/firmware/"|'
$SRC/$name-$version/extras/firmware/firmware.c
before the "make" line in Pkgfile. Then it compiles and works correctly.

Ahem. Last night I realized firmware loading was broken for me, too;
it manifested in XVideo not being available.
I *assumed* it worked for me because X was coming up without the usual
30 second delay that missing firmware causes in the Radeon driver.

Tilman
