Hey Stanislaw, all, on rt2x00 devices, firmware gets loaded in: int rt2x00lib_start(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev) which is called, when we start the interface by: ifconfig wlan0 up I need to lower tx power of the device and created a udev rule for that: KERNEL=="wlan0", RUN+="/usr/sbin/iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 1800" Obviously this does not work, since the firmware is not loaded, yet. Is there a reason, why the firmware is loaded so late and not earlier in probe or so? Can this be done in any other proper way I don't know about? I think the device should be ready for any operation, when the udev rule triggers, right? regards Pascal -- 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
