Yes I have tried it back with the 4.15.x kernels which is when they stopped supplying it with the regular kernel source.

All 8 penguins are properly displayed at bootup with the builtin -
could be modular - AST2400 driver. However still having issues
building a kernel with the soon to be released gcc-8 compiler but gcc-7.3.0 works just fine which is still the default compiler here as
we speak.

only 6.4.0 here on gentoo is stable
i dont know why older kernels stopped building firmware when 4.16 works for me,
good its solved
sadly cant build firmware anymore in the kernel, seems it needs
to be external build now
Just as well since there were some of the firmware I needed with the external source that wasn't provided with the regular source anyhow. This way most, if indeed not all, firmware can be found in the
external source. In my particular situation I can find all that I require in the external source which I needed before so it's not
really a big deal.
yep, building external firmware is not easy on gentoo, it need to clena userland firmware files, and disable in kernel firmware, then build in userland
firmware and hope it works on new kernels :)
have it build in kernel makes sure its tested and works with the kernel version
Regards Benny
... there can only be one way of life, and it works :)
