1 Greetings,
2
3 off and on I'm receiving updates of packages "sys-firmware/intel-micro-
4 code" and "sys-kernel/linux-firmware". My kernel has
5
6 $ grep ^CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE /usr/src/linux/.config
7 CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-5e-03 i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin regulatory.db regulatory.db.p7s iwlwifi-3160-17.ucode"
8 CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
9 $
10
11 Is there any need for some postprocessing like booting when either of
12 these packages is updated? Normally my laptop is regularly hibernated
13 but it is rarely booted.
14
15 Sincerely,
16 Rainer
