Contrary to the message output, there is no file at /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20130113 .
So what syntax is supposed to go in that config file, and what is the generic (not 20130113 versioned) name and path it must use?
I do need isl49465 firmware. I don't have any other firmware requirements that I am aware of on this Lenovo Thinkpad x201.
Thanks. |

Thanks, Fitzcarraldo, that's helpful, and I think I got it set up correctly now.
Now, my next question (for someone) is: Why is the savedconfig file named with the date/version of linux-firmware included in it? Does this mean that when that package is updated and the date changes, the next time I upgrade the package, the savedconfig file will be ignored and I'll unknowingly install the entire set of linux firmware (until I accidentally discover the mistake much later)??
I experimented by changing the name of the config file to just "linux-firmware", but it was apparently ignored by portage. This whole thing is astoundingly poorly documented, even for Gentoo  |

Yes, it does mean that. I suppose the file name contains the date/version because the list of the devices for which firmware is included in each version of the linux-firmware package can change, so the savedconfig file has to be tied to the version of the linux-firmware package.

| Savedconfig files are versioned by default, but you can rename them and they will apply to all versions. It's, in a way, similar to package.* dirs/files. |

| Although I install sys-kernel/linux-firmware with savedconfig USE flag, I can't find a savedconfig file in /etc/portage/savedconfig. Any idea why? |

Not sure, possible bug:
| Code: | | USE="-savedconfig" emerge linux-firmware |
then you can find:
| Code: | | /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20180103-r1 |
then:
| Code: | | USE="savedconfig" emerge linux-firmware |
the config file is not being over witten.
