Subject: [PATCH] b43: Allow running without PCM firmware
Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 23:43:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805172343.57558.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)
This patch adds code to allow running the device without PCM firmware loaded.
Without PCM firmware we don't have hardware accelerated crypto on
devices with a core rev <= 10.

John, this is for 2.6.27
