Hi,

ÂApologies If i posted in wrong place..

ÂI am writing small driver which does request_firmware() to get
firmware file content from user space.
ÂIf i complete it dynamically and do insmod, then works fine. If i
build it statically and reboot my PC, i am getting Â-2 from
request_firmware() which is ("no such a file or directory error")

ÂI am using Ubuntu 10.04 lucid...

ÂDo i need to keep a copy of firmware file in initramfs ? If so , how
do i do it ?
ÂAm i missing anything else ?

ÂThanks.
