Regarding the installation of the firmware, I downloaded the firmware, ./configure'd it, make'd it, make install'd it, and when I look at the folder /lib/firmware all I still have is the following:

/firmware/ ls

g_pochini (at www.webalice.it/g_pochini/ead/) recommends installing hotplug and then compile firmware for the specific card. In my case: indigoio.

Any other options, or links I should look at ?
