[node-devel] Firmware missing

[Jonas Israelsson]

Greetings,

I have a few Brocade 815 Fibre Channel HBA's  that I was planning to use
on my oVirt nodes.
While the kernel module for these HBA's (bfa) is included the firmware
also needed is not.

I added them to one node by just remounting the root-filesystem as
read-write and copied the files to /lib/firmware.
These files does however not survive a reboot. Anyone knows where to
place them in order to make them stay permanently ?

Furthermore,  would it be possible to consider adding these as standard ?

There seem to be already existing fedora packages, I used this package
to extract the files before adding them to the node.

With kind regards,
Jonas
