Re: Wifi & usbmouse: From Sarge to Etch [SOLVED]
On my notebook Dell Precision M20 I use debian sarge with package
libc6-i686 and a custom kernel 2.6.17.2 from kernel.org. I compile the
kernel driver ipw2200 as a module. This driver declares the names of the
firmware files to look for (see
<linux-2.6.17.2>/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.c).
As far as I understand the firmware files are loaded by hotplug and the
directories for the firmware are defined by /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
(FIRMWARE_DIRS). So I store the firmware files in /usr/local/lib/firmware.

Jörg-Volker.
