[PATCH v3 16/18] wl1271: AP mode - fetch appropriate firmware for AP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



AP and STA modes use different firmwares.

Differentiate the firmware files by name and fetch the appropriate one
when add_interface is called by mac80211. The STA firmware is chosen for
PLT mode.
