firmware download support for hotplug-ng?

firmware download support for hotplug-ng?

[Chris Steel]

Hi,

I've just downloaded hotplug-ng-002 and it works very
nicely on my system, except there appears to be no
firmware download support, which means that the
frontend in my DVB card can't work.

Are you planning to add firmware support to hotplug-ng
in the near future, or is it possible to do firware
download by another means?

cheers

Chris

It should be possible to do firmware download with a program that could
be bundled with hotplug-ng if someone wants to write it (hint, hint,
hint...)

thanks,
