Why do you need to encode filenames ? surely /sys/devices/.../ etc is "trusted" ? In what way are filenames encoded ? or do you mean "encrypted" - why ? b43 / ssb / /usr/src/linux/drivers/base/firmware_class.c doesn't seem to mention "encoded" or "encrypted" filenames and seem to work fine without any filenames being sent ? Why isn't this "filename encoding" interface to drivers/base/class/firmware* documented anywhere ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
