Which option? These are the firmware options I see in the .config 
file.
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
# Device Tree and Open Firmware support
# Altera FPGA firmware download module
# CONFIG_HOSTAP_FIRMWARE is not set
# Firmware Drivers
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y
# CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set

I had the mdev -s in the init.d/rcS script, but added setting the 
path just now.

## Added 5/12/2013 as part of adding firmware support
echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
mdev -s

So, just copy from the linux-firmware git download and place the 
fw files?
