With it built in, I wonder if the kernel tries to load the firmware before root is mounted ? |
That must be the case here  maybe it will be fixed in later kernel versions

Hi all,
i came around this issue today while installing a brand new gentoo on my old lenovo T61 notebook
lspci output:
| Code: |
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or ARN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
|
dmesg output:
| Code: |
iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode' failed.
iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
|
But the named file exists in /lib/firmeware. So i tryed to unlode the relevant module und reloaded it again and voila that worked as a work-around!
| Code: |
modprobe -r iwl4965
modprobe iwl4965
|
Funny that this problem does still somehow exist. The kernel of the used gentoo minimal was 3.8.13-gentoo i686:
