29FIRMWARE:
30=========
31
32We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
33all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include
34
35pve-kernel-2.6.18
36pve-kernel-2.6.24
37pve-kernel-2.6.32
38pve-kernel-2.6.35
39
40We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware
41files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists
42and copy the files from various source directory into a target
43directory.
44
45We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
46separate debian package for that, for example:
47
48zd1211-firmware
49atmel-firmware
50bluez-firmware

53PATCHES:
54--------
55
56 bootsplash-3.1.9-2.6.31-rh.patch: bootsplash patch
57
58 bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
59 see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291
60
61 Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address
62 of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit
63 that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces.
