Hi both,

Sorry, scratch that for the moment!

I think we might need some updated udev rules for the new 
compat_firmware_class module.

Can you download 50-compat_firmware.rules and compat_firmware.sh from here:

http://www.elrepo.org/people/phil/compat/udev/

and install to:

/lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_firmware.rules

File permissions/ownership should be set as follows:

$ ll /lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 994 Aug  7 22:49 /lib/udev/compat_firmware.sh

$ ll /lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_firmware.rules
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 193 Aug  7 22:49 
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_firmware.rules

reboot and test.

Thanks.

Phil
