How to add project-based firmware to the boot image?

[sebj]

thanks for the info it was definitely needed!

I have a question.

For faster booting, I'm compilimg my own build, basically just so the kernel includes the realtek firmware.

is it feasible that openelec would do this on a per project basis?

example: fusion builds have x,y,z nics, so the kernel config includes those firmwares.

You're welcome :-)

The new init has the capability to load kernel modules, but not yet firmware, would need to discuss that with sraue I think.
Also, could you please open a new topic for anything that's not related to the current boot options, I'm locking the "PXE Boot Failure" topic now, moving your post to a new topic here. Thanks in advance.

it was solved today with https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/...2bdb71d4a6 so wait for the next devel/beta

Holy! :ohmy:

Thanks guys!

You know, seeing as openelec swaps kernels every week, this manual step on my part was getting a bit tiresome.

Thanks for this, now htpcs with realtek nics will pxe boot way faster!

Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for this!
