re: Catweasel driver

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

   1. The firmware is large, with about 60k. Does anybody have experience
   with using a compressed firmware image in the driver, which is uncompressed
   on the fly, while uploading it to the chip? How would I do that?
   (This would probably make sense for most firmware, so a common interface
   in the kernel could be quite useful.)

we've been talking about doing this for a while but no one has done it.

for now, i recommend just commiting the firmware to sys/dev/ic/microcode
and use it as you see fit.

FWIW, 60KB is not large.  not compared to the rest of that subdirs,
units are in KB:
