Suggestion for firmware load example script

Suggestion for firmware load example script

[Ken Hahn]

Howdy,

I'm getting our usb2 product working with Linux, and I ran across the
example firmware loading script at:
http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/perf

By mistake, in the process of upgrading to the latest hotplug stuff, I
forgot to add the new fxload.  This took me a few minutes to figure out.  It
would have gone alot faster if this following bit of code had been placed
before the attempt to load in that example script.  I'd recommend that it be
added to the example.

Almost everything else is checked for, but we don't check to see if the
fxload program is missing.

Sorry this isn't a patch, but it is small:

if [ ! -x /sbin/fxload ]; then
        if [ -x /usr/bin/logger ]; then
                /usr/bin/logger -t $0 "cannot load firmware, missing fxload"
        fi
        exit 1
fi

Thanks,

Ken Hahn
Engineer, MicroSolutions

I updated the example on the website to check for the loader.
