hotplugging to deal with firmware download

[Oliver Neukum]

Hi Greg, hi people,

do you have anything in place that will work with swsuspend
without any chance of deadlocking, so I can look at converting
kaweth ?

So at present it would have to be something called as a hotplug script
in the usual way ?
The problem is that this cannot simply work, because a filesystem may be mounted
by nfs.

Would you consider a firmware loading driver that takes firmware from disk ?

I haven't looked at swsuspend at all in the current tree, so no, I don't
have anything in place :)
