You can only build firmware inside the kernel if you also build the corresponding driver inside the kernel (i.e. not as a module). Module loading and firmware loading go hand-in-hand. Anyway, Debian kernel packages are not built this way, so this is irrelevant. > Then I tried to compile kernel with firmware OUTSIDE kernel.

The version of the Debian-packaged kernel is 2.6.30-1-amd64, not 2.6.30.1-amd64. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings No political challenge can be met by shopping. - George Monbiot
