OK, so, that's Hard(tm). Realistically, what you'd need is the following: - the event of no-firmware-found is propagated via HAL - HAL catches this and throws up a dialog that does something Right now, we have neither of those; I'm not even sure the infrastructure is there for the second one. It's feasible; I want to do this for fc5 but what the kernel gives us right now is crap (e.g. a driver may ask for several different files and still work if it just finds one of them. Sigh. I think this can be closed as Fedora 7 will have the firmware out of the box. (In reply to comment #3) > I think this can be closed as Fedora 7 will have the firmware out of the box. Not all firmware. Only those with clear redistribution rights. Rest of them would probably need good notification mechanism still. Yup, we now handle this with PackageKit, although I would argue we should just ship all free firmware by default anyway... |
