Setting the option FIRMWARE=3D"yes" in genkernel.conf will automatically copy the firmware from /lib/firmware to your initrd. FWIW, creating an initrd is as difficult as typing 'genkernel initramfs' and using the correct grub parameters. You don't even need a new one for every kernel, depending on whats changed. Wil
