Dan, A change made by you on April 15th breaks firmware downloading to an sdio connected 8686 on the OLPC's XO-1.5s. I reverted it and was able to get firmware to load just fine, with it in, the firmware fails to load. commit 96021f096e5178582af296a2fbb6df7dbd6b695c Author: Dan Williams <dcbw@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 15 13:27:44 2010 -0700 libertas: consolidate SDIO firmware wait code Consolidate a bunch of C&P code that waits for the firmware to be ready.

I apologize for not sending a patch, but I don't have time right now to get to it. Perhaps you can get to it quicker, if so, I'll be happy to test anything you come up with. - Steve -- 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
