| gnu_srs | Hi. Anybody knows which eudev/udev rules reads the firmware files? | 13:17 |
|---|---|---|
| rrq | gnu_srs: aiui nowadays the kernel reads directly and udev doesn't get involved, though there is a kernel event emitted which udev ignores (nowadays). | 21:15 |
| rrq | .. there seems to be two pathways to make it use /lib/firmware again: 1) to add that path into the kernel's path list (via a sysfs file write) or re-adding a udev rule. | 21:17 |
| rrq | (should have had "2)" after "or" :) | 21:17 |
| rrq | ,, and I suppose the 2) path does end up in a 1) path anyhow; just triggered via udev rather than, say, an init hook. | 21:19 |
| gnu_srs | rrq: Thanks, the recent problem now is that firmare files are at /lib/firmware and recently at /usr/lib/firmware due to usrmerge. | 23:49 |
| gnu_srs | Maybe we can patch eudev and file a bug for udev? | 23:50 |
| gnu_srs | Why should the kernel only look for files in /lib? Can we add a path somehow? | 23:51 |
