10 That's exactly what I did too after seeing the root article in this
11 thread, and yes it works.

13 I am puzzled by one thing, though: according to the Help text for the
14 first kernel option above (Include in-kernel firmware blobs), that
15 should actually compile in the firmware that ships with the kernel
16 itself, for _all_ compiled drivers. Yet I see at the end of "make
17 install":

47 and checking afterwards, yes these files are there, and by their mod
48 times they were created by the latest make install step.
49
50 So, why are these firmware bits not built in now?
