Firmware download and install help 8.2 lfs
Hi Everyone,
Been looking everywhere on how to download network firmware and I was able to clone the git repository . I downloaded it to sources and can't figure out what to do from there with it. I need the firmware for my ethernet card it appears. RTL8101/2/6E.I have the complete linux-firmware cloned to sources. I would be very grateful for any directions. I haven't gave up yet after all these days and hours reading ad trying different things to get a net connection. Thanks for reading |
just unzip the archive and copy the contents to /lib/firmware

Hey Keith, How you doing.
When I cloned it the file is "linux-firmware" . I didn't have to unzip it. I tried to copy it to /lib/firmware with cp -r linux-firmware /lib/firmware but it fails. Does copying the file also install it? Thanks for your time |
Hey Keith ,
ok I got the file copied and the boot error went away. Partial success at least. Thanks |
