So what does the term "SDIO IP" mean here. Is it a > piece of hardware that you hook up to your wifi hardware or is it > VHDL/verilog in which the vendor id is defined.

And we figured out a way to update vendor ID at run-time during boot. We would get our own vendor ID from SD association and proceed . - Harsha
