usb error? linux 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4

[Stephen Clark]

Hello List,


Anyone have an idea how I could fix this - I plugged in an ActionTec 
dualpc modem
configured so it would ask for a new flash. Where do I put the 
cxacru-fw.bin file?

Jun  3 17:43:16 joker kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using 
uhci_hcd
and address 65
Jun  3 17:43:16 joker kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 8
Jun  3 17:43:16 joker kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 20
Jun  3 17:43:18 joker kernel: usbcore: registered new driver cxacru
Jun  3 17:43:19 joker kernel: cxacru 1-2:1.0: firmware (cxacru-fw.bin) 
unavailab
le (hotplug misconfiguration?)

Thanks,
Steve

The usual place nowadays seems to be in /lib/firmware/
Depends on your distribution though.  If you are using
hotplug rather than udev, you can find a list of firmware
directories in hotplug's firmware script.

If the cxacru module is being loaded from an initrd, then it
may not be able to find the firmware if the root filesystem
hasn't been mounted yet.  In that case the simplest thing is
probably to place the firmware appropriately in the initrd.
