[PATCH 19/26] iwlwifi: use correct fw file in 8000 b-step

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Liad Kaufman <liad.kaufman@xxxxxxxxx>

In 8000 B-step the FW file has changed, but by the time we
know the HW step, the FW file is already requested.

This patch defaults 8000 family to B-step if no HW step is
detected in time. When it can it checks what HW step it
really is (in 8000 family) and if it isn't B-step, the FW
file is released and the A-step file is requested.
