It appears that the above card needs kernel hotplug to load firmware (HOTPLUG and FW_LOADER). These could be added to the kernel checks. According to the Makefile it appears that adding the following to src_install should get the firmware installed: # Create firmware directory mkdir -p ${D}/lib/firmware/
can you please fix this yourself?
Actually he can't, he has no gentoo-x86 cvs access. Fixed in zaptel-1.2.16, please test and yell if it's br0ke. Also added a CONFIG_FW_LOADER check.
