<div>Hi Martin,<br>
</div>
if you refer to my kernel version. 3.10.17 is the latest,
stable version in the official gentoo repository for the amd64
architeture. See here<br>

Indeed, you are doing the right thing, I guess. But if you encounter
any sort of crash, I really advise you to go against gentoo on this
and update your kernel to the latest official release (3.12.x at the
moment). FYI, the 3.12 brings performance improvements to Nouveau
too.<br>

Hence, if I understand you correctly, there are kernel version
(newer than some unknown point in time) that already include the
firmware? If this is the case, someone who knows the exact
kernel version should mention that point on<br>

What I wanted to say is that adding good fw support usually spans
across multiple kernels. Even 3.13 has kepler fw fixes IIRC and 3.14
will receive some more updates to support new chipsets. It isn't a
binary thing so this is hard to tell we support a feature...<br>
<br>
I guess we could tell when is the first free implementation (with
the possible fallback of using the blob's firmware[1]) and then when
we added support for all chipsets of the family and it has been
fairly-extensively tested and bug-free. Some cards would never pass
the test though :s<br>
