For a given architecture, only the right version of the microcode is compiled, so the binary only contains one copy of the microcode. The good news is that future versions of the device will not have this issue. I can complain all day about hardware designers not listening to the software guys but then they just might stop talking to me altogether ;-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
