Not sure I know how to force linux-firmware-* to be installed??
Personally I use DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += in my local.conf for local changes like that.
Also I replaced the WiFi card with an Intel Wireless-N 135, and I got a FW error using it as well. In this case it called out:
That was probably a good move, I've not had good experience with realtek hardware.
lwlagn 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-105-5-ucode' failed
So if could just be I don't know how to force the firmware files to get included or the file does not exist in Yocto.
That's packaged in linux-firmware (in oe-core master at least, it appears the Denzil needs upgrading here), so adding DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += "linux-firmware" will add it to all of your future images.
the firmware I need must not be in the Denzil for Cedartrail BSP. It built fine with the DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS added, but both the Intel and Realtek cards can't load the firmware.
