How to request firmware during module init?

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

 



Hi,

ath6kl needs to request the firmware from user space during module init
(or to be exact from sdio probe, but it's almost the same thing) and
boot hardware to get some settings etc before it registers itself to
cfg80211. What's the proper way to handle this?

I noticed that when I compile ath6kl into kernel boot fails on my x86
box as firmware is not available because user space is not ready.
