- Is it worth supporting those with wireless nics requiring firmware
and who also want to mount / via NFS? This requires firmware loading in the initial ram disk.
Well, it's not going to work out of the box, but neither is net booting without hacks. I suppose you'd need to modify mkinitrd.
- Will Fedora/RHEL be shipping with /lib/firmware directory
pre-populated with ipw* firmware?
Not to the best of my knowledge.
- Any idea what's the semantics with hotplug vs /etc/dev.d/? What's the
defined interaction? Is it possible for hotplug to trigger but not udev or vice versa?
hotplug is called by the kernel, hotplug then calls udev, which then calls dev.d scripts.
