Hi John, We have a change to the iwlwifi driver for the near future which will dynamically load a different module based on the version of microcode installed on the system. The driver does a request_module_nowait after obtaining the firmware file loaded as part of modprobe. This all works fine, however unloading the module is not symmetrical/straight forward. It looks like there are capabilities already implemented to make this easy. If I put the following script into /etc/modprobe.d then modprobe iwlwifi-r will do the right thing. It is backward compatible with the current iwlwifi driver. How do I get this out in the community before we submit the patch that would break iwlwifi removal? Thanks, Don # /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf # iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the # microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first # remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi. remove iwlwifi \ (/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \ && /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211 -- 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
