I was hoping there was a default way to fetch the useful kernel
modules from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
but it seems like there isn't one. Fetching the whole tree is just a
little to much for my system. I already have a package which just
copies the firmware from my working system but fetching the firmware
from is projectroot is a better idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
