I have this little black usb ethernet adapter that uses the zd1202 chipset. I recompiled my kernel to support it and it says in the help file in menuconfig I need to install the latest firmware. The tar file I downloaded has 3 files:
zd1201.fw zd1201-ap.fw
and a makefile:
Code:
FIRMWARE=zd1201.fw zd1201-ap.fw
INSTALL = cp -p -f
default: install
install:
@echo -n " INSTALL" ${FIRMWARE}
@test -d /etc/firmware \
&& $(INSTALL) ${FIRMWARE} /etc/firmware \
&& echo " =>" /etc/firmware/ \
|| test -d /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware \
&& $(INSTALL) ${FIRMWARE} /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware \
&& echo " =>" /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ \
|| ( echo && echo "Failed: No firmware directory found" && false )
typing "make" as root is supposed to install the firmware.
Problem is I don't have the /usr/lib/hotplug or the /etc/firmware
directories on my system. I thought about creating them manually and copying the .fw files over but that doesn't work. What would the equivalent directory on a slackware 11 system be?
