Subject: How to load config info before loading firmware?
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 09:02:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <539F1503.7050602@candelatech.com> (raw)
It would be nice to be able to configure some info before
loading firmware on at least the ath10k NIC. The problem is,
there is no debugfs available before loading firmware, ethtool
would at best require restarting the NIC/firmware, and loading
binary config blobs attached to firmware is unpleasant.
Module parameters are generally frowned upon and may be difficult
to implement properly if we have multiple NICs with different
desired configuration in a single machine.
Are there any suggestions on how to do this sort of config?
Any other drivers currently allowing such things?
Thanks,
Ben
