[Antonio Olivares]

Dear fellow testers,

Has anyone noticed something like the Subject line?

  Installing     : kernel-2.6.31.5-115.fc12.x86_64                        10/87
W: Possible missing firmware aic94xx-seq.fw for module aic94xx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql8100_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql2400_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql2322_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql2300_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql2200_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko
W: Possible missing firmware ql2100_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko


Does it mean that if we have the above firmware on our machines, that the kernel modules are not there because of error?

Thanks in advance,

Antonio
