every patch from http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel/ gives you a
backport of request_firmware() for kernels down to 2.4.18. Actually
these patches are for the Bluetooth subsystem, but we need that backport
and so I made it. On the other hand the firmware_class.o kernel module
can be compiled standalone for the Mandrake kernel and if it is needed,
somebody should get this job done. This is how the Orinoco USB deals
with this for a long time now.
