Hello! I've tried the current wireless-dev.git with an rt61 card, but I forgot to install the firmware. The driver loaded and informed me of missing firmware, but crashed on unload: PM: Removing info for No Bus:0000:06:00.0 rt61pci->rt61pci_load_firmware: Error - Failed to load Firmware.

Either mac80211 should be more tolerant, or rt61 should keep track of what it has registered. I'm unsure which is better, hence no patch attached ;) -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
