Loading device firmware in kickstart

[Matt Fahrner]

Hi all,

We've built a kickstart image (initrd.img) with custom modules to 
support the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless card (it uses the 
"ipw2200" module). As we've had experience with this before, getting the 
module itself to load wasn't too hard, however in order for the card to 
work it needs to load a firmware image as well. We believe that part is 
failing.

What I've tried to do is put the firmware files in the same spot under 
the "initrd" image as on a normal multi-user system, namely 
"/lib/firmware". However as best as we can tell this isn't working.

We are going to try "/etc/firmware" as well, however I thought someone 
might have had some experience with this before, so I am trying this 
list. Does someone have some advice here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

			- Matt
