5 The following search paths are used to look for firmware on your
8 * fw_path_para - module parameter - default is empty so this is ignored
9 * /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE/
10 * /lib/firmware/updates/
11 * /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE/
14 The module parameter ''path'' can be passed to the firmware_class module
15 to activate the first optional custom fw_path_para. The custom path can
16 only be up to 256 characters long. The kernel parameter passed would be:
18 * 'firmware_class.path=$CUSTOMIZED_PATH'
20 There is an alternative to customize the path at run time after bootup, you
23 * /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
25 You would echo into it your custom path and firmware requested will be
26 searched for there first.
