I've set in the kernel config:


CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y


Although I don't see the asked file in initramfs. The file with full
path is /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw:

# zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30.4-dgb | cpio -t | grep bnx2
lib/modules/2.6.30.4-dgb/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko
300859 blocks

Whereupon this variable is set to 'y' would not have to be sufficient?

<just_guessing>
1) Perhaps firmware must be in some other directory.
2) Perhaps there is no access to the FS in /lib at the moment that loads
drivers.
</just_guessing>


Thanks for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
