I was kind of wondering how to avoid compiling in 20 to 60 Kb of firmware image for support of RAM based TMS380 cards. In addition, some each particular card may have specific firmware it wants loaded. I'm looking for some way to load a really basic config file to let the driver know which image goes with which card. Doing this from userland isn't good as I can't do much with the card until the firmware is loaded. -- | Matthew N.
