41 So it's probably the one you say, but in /lib64/firmware/radeon there are:
42 JUNIPER_me.bin
43 JUNIPER_pfp.bin

46 And which package owns them? Because equery shows nothing.
47
48 equery b /lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_*

50 /lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin,/lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin,/lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin
