But I suspect that the iwlwifi firmware is loaded during interface up (and unloaded during interface down) and in that case register/unregister would be happening all the time. That doesn't sound like a good idea. I would rather try to fix the thermal interface to handle the cases when the measurement is not available. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
