Hi Punky,

That worked and is now loading correct firmware
/lib/firmware/vpmoct032.bin. The dahdi make file has option to "make
firmware-loaders". I wonder if this will take the place of the manual
extraction process while building dahdi? This firmware is for
the on-board hardware echo cancellation modules that optionally come with
the  wcte12xp PRI card. I have a couple of these running in production for
a couple of years now and they really help with the echo. Perhaps if we
continue having issues with loading the firmware, or if it's gets to be too
manual, we can test with the software echo cancellation. Thanks for your
assistance!

[   27.765306] wcte12xp 0000:0e:08.0: Booting VPMADT032
[   28.163293] wcte12xp 0000:0e:08.0: VPM present and operational (Firmware
version 125)
