Yes, to have in built in a separate directory, is a bit more work :)
I usually have a full source somewhere and do symlinks there, because
of build issues.

Pattern of the firmware filename is *3410*, of course. I had different
opinions about what names must be used (driver author has something
else), thus i've chose generic one.

Also, i'd like to mention, that new MSP430 RF device, based on tiusb3410
with HID interface and back-link via serial port have different
firmware. I don't
know if it back compatible with ez430-2013. I doubt it is, because
main interface
changed from serial to HID. Thus even more configuration settings must be
dealt with with only *one* device. AFAIK current driver and usb-linux structure
isn't suited for such thing. Complete new stuff is needed.

I didn't follow development, and also i wasn't CC'd on stuff i was
involved into, but
usb-serial module must have a patch from Oliver (fix-reconfig.patch on
ftp) to fix a
bug, when multiple serial devices are plugged. Check this out in first.
