Subject: request_firmware fails in static building

Hi,

 Apologies If i posted in wrong place..

 I am writing small driver which does request_firmware() to get
firmware file content from user space.
 If i complete it dynamically and do insmod, then works fine. If i
build it statically and reboot my PC, i am getting  -2 from
request_firmware() which is ("no such a file or directory error")

 I am using Ubuntu 10.04 lucid...

 Do i need to keep a copy of firmware file in initramfs ? If so , how
do i do it ?
 Am i missing anything else ?

 Thanks.
