FWIW, many drivers now don't do it on IFF_UP/start any more but do request_firmware_nowait() in probe and only finish probing and registering with mac80211 when they have the firmware file. This is necessary if you have any device/driver capabilities that depend on the firmware that need to be known before registering with mac80211. johannes -- 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
