I'd like to have this be easy for people to add to their distributions. Make our own .deb's and .RPM's???? Is there a previously existent repository package? IMHO the hotplug packages should not grow to the point of containing every firmware on the planet. Perhaps you should write a patch to the utilities which will cause them to look for a firmware named after the vendor:device ids and distribute the firmware seperately, preferrably as an rpm (LSB) Regards Oliver _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
