REQUEST_FIRMWARE_NOW(9) Device drivers infrastructure REQUEST_FIRMWARE_NOW(9)NAME
request_firmware_nowait - asynchronous version of request_firmware
SYNOPSIS
int request_firmware_nowait(struct module * module, bool uevent, const char * name, struct device * device, gfp_t gfp, void * context,
void (*cont) (const struct firmware *fw, void *context));
ARGUMENTS
module
module requesting the firmware
uevent
sends uevent to copy the firmware image if this flag is non-zero else the firmware copy must be done manually.
name
name of firmware file
device
device for which firmware is being loaded
gfp
allocation flags
context
will be passed over to cont, and fw may be NULL if firmware request fails.
cont
function will be called asynchronously when the firmware request is over.
DESCRIPTION
Caller must hold the reference count of device.
Asynchronous variant of request_firmware for user contexts: - sleep for as small periods as possible since it may increase kernel boot time
of built-in device drivers requesting firmware in their ->probe methods, if gfp is GFP_KERNEL.
- can't sleep at all if gfp is GFP_ATOMIC.

ipwfw -- Firmware Module for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device ipwfw
This will include three firmware images inside the kernel. If you want to pick only the firmware image for the mode you want to operate your
network adapter in choose one of the following:
device ipwbssfw
device ipwibssfw
device ipwmonitorfw
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
ipw_bss_load="YES"
ipw_ibss_load="YES"
ipw_monitor_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters. It may be statically linked
into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed to by adding the following
line to loader.conf(5):
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
FILES
