Hi!

I'm working on udev upgrade. The only remaining problem is the new firmware 
loader. They have rewritten firmware.sh in C, and it uses hardcoded paths. I 
don't want to maintain non-trivial patch that will never be accepted 
upstream, so I've asked the author if he will accept looking also in 
getenv(FIRMWARE_DIRS).

Another solution would be to replace hardcoded paths with 
/var/run/udev/firmware, and symlink a symlink tree of firmware files here. 
Are there any objections against this way?
