.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function works pretty much like
\fBrequest_firmware\fR, but this doesn\*(Aqt fall back to usermode helper even if the firmware couldn\*(Aqt be loaded directly from fs\&. Hence it\*(Aqs useful for loading optional firmwares, which aren\*(Aqt always present, without extra long timeouts of udev\&.
