So the current state is that drivers/atm contains the C dump of fore 200 firmware in drivers/atm/fore200e_pca_fw.c but this firmware is not built and not installed by make install. It's also not present in linux-firware tree/packages so the fore driver can not load its firmware from anywhere. I guess this is not the intended outcome. Should we move the firmware to linux-firmware repository and remove drivers/atm/fore200e_pca_fw.c or should we convert and install the firmware in kernel build system? -- Meelis Roos (mroos@linux.ee)
