Ashish, I have two (maybe 3) of those cards from different vendors. I would not mind testing any code you produce. -- Farhan Khan PGP Fingerprint: B28D 2726 E2BC A97E 3854 5ABE 9A9F 00BC D525 16EE On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 2:29 PM Adrian Chadd <adrian.chadd@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi! > > If you can put some code up then we can poke at it together and see how to > get the firmware load and USB framework bits into if_ath(4). > > You don't want to load it via userland; you really want the driver to load > it at attach time and if it wants to power things fully down off or not. > (You can do a reset command over USB to reset the chip back to "wait for > firmware" which is nice for things like low power modes.) > > > -a > > > On Tue, 8 Jan 2019 at 02:12, Ashish Gupta <ashmew2@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to add USB glue to the ath driver in order to support Atheros > > USB cards (I'm working with the AR9271 chip specifically). > > > > The code for downloading firmware to the card, similar to uathload, is > > ready but untested.
