Yes, those devices map the SPROM into the wireless core window. So, yes, the wireless core has to be mapped for the readout to work, of course. I don't know what other prerequisites have to be met to read the data. Maybe IHR region has to be disabled. I don't know how writing works on these devices. -- Greetings Michael. -- 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
