However if you've got a system to load and pin firmware *on suspend* and flush it post resume then you don't actually need special 'firmware' drivers just a slightly fancier lib/firmware that refcounts and handles load on suspend/delayed flush. (and probably a sysctl for cache tuning so that typical small firmwares get cached on bigger boxes anyway for speed) -- 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
