linux-firmware: pull-request wl12xx 2012-02-22 (v2)

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

 



Hi Ben,

I have fixed up the stuff you mentioned.  Now our LICENCE file doesn't
have any lines number (I had to check with legal and it is okay).  I
also added a separate patch to change the existing WHENCE info to use
the correct format and used the new format also when adding the new
files.

The head of the branch I want you to pull from is:
f268e39204577a50cdaa62547278a4d069746d51.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

+The NVS file includes two parts:

-In order to have correct NVS file for your device NVS tool should be use:
-http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
+The published NVS files are for testing only.  Every device needs to
+hava a unique NVS which is properly calibrated for best results.  You
+can find more information about NVS generation for your device here:
 
-Example NVS files (not optimal) for wl127x and wl128x includes.
-To use example NVS set symbolic link wl12xx-nvs.bin to one of
-them (depending the chip on the platform)
+http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
 
-In order to use that files copy ti-connectivity directory to target FS at
+If you're using a wl127x based device, use a symbolic link called
+wl1271-nvs.bin that links to the wl127x-nvs.bin file.  If you are
+using wl128x, link to wl128x-nvs.bin instead.
+
+The driver expects to find the firmwares under a ti-connectivity
+subdirectory.  So if your system looks for firmwares in /lib/firmware,
+the firmwares for wl12xx chips must be located in
 /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/.
