Good kernel modules *should* export needed firmwares as module |
| 15 |
parameters. You *should* then be able to query it with modinfo: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
modinfo <module> -F firmware |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Note however that *lots* of modules (especially DVB, in my experience) |
| 20 |
don't properly set those parameters and you're left grepping the source |
| 21 |
code or dmesg to find which firmware you'll need... |
