The patch titled firmware loader: printk when requesting firmware has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was firmware-loader-printk-when-requesting-firmware.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: firmware loader: printk when requesting firmware From: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Before requesting firmware, printk a message saying what we're requesting. This makes it easier to see what's going on, and provides an explanation for the huge silent delay that one would otherwise get after accidentally building ipw2200 as a non-module.
