Rodriguez" To: "linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org" Subject: CRDA and uevent Cc: "linux kernel" , "Marcel Holtmann" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: At OLS we reviewed how CRDA [1] and its integration with the kernel works. One comment was to have the kernel call a uevent instead of calling call_usermodehelper() as this is a better accepted way of calling user mode helpers and it provides a better framework. I still am not sold on this but regardless I'd like to give it a shot. It seems we would need to register a class for this. Marcel I know you also mentioned about using device platform for this? Is this correct or did I misunderstand? Can you elaborate a bit? Thanks, Luis [1] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
