Hi,

	I checked the IPW2100 in the current git from linux-2.6 and the menuconfig
help (Kconfig) says you need to put the firmware in /etc/firmware, it should
be /lib/firmware.

Who should I send the "patch" to? Or can someone simply change that?

Thanks,

.Alejandro

Are you sure it is not distro-dependend?

AFAIK hotplug looks for firmware in /lib/firmware and not /etc/firmware.

Right, IPW2100 came with Legacy fw load first. Maybe that was dragged from
long time ago and used incorrectly.

I'm 100% sure that new versions of hotplug try to look at /lib/firmware and
was /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware before, but there was some discussion that
/lib would make more sense cause /usr could be dependant on other stuff.

Jesper already signed the patch.
