Subject: rt2x00: Firmware loading vs. udev rules
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 18:38:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <560ABE7B.1080109@gmail.com> (raw)

Hey Stanislaw, all,

on rt2x00 devices, firmware gets loaded in:

int rt2x00lib_start(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev)

which is called, when we start the interface by:

ifconfig wlan0 up

I need to lower tx power of the device and created a udev rule for that:

KERNEL=="wlan0", RUN+="/usr/sbin/iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 1800"

Obviously this does not work, since the firmware is not loaded, yet.

Is there a reason, why the firmware is loaded so late and not earlier in
probe or so?
Can this be done in any other proper way I don't know about?
I think the device should be ready for any operation, when the udev rule
triggers, right?

regards
Pascal
