Zhu Yi 397ae121ee [PATCH] ipw2200: Scale firmware loading watchdog with the firmware size I can't really help with why restarts happen, but the following patch greatly increases the likelihood that a firmware reload will succeed afterward on my thinkpad. It addresses two issues. First, sysfs module loading and hotplug are asynchronous, and as such file operations on the "loading" and "data" files are racy when you load 2 firmwares in quick succession. Second, the timeout for DMAing the firmware needs to scale with the size of the firmware being loaded. That is, the watchdog needs to be on throughput, not on time alone. I no longer get the firmware load errors, though this is at best a hacky workaround for a racy interface. (Obviously, this does nothing to address the fatal errors in firmware which cause reloads; it just causes the initial loading and the reloads to work more often.)

	------

	This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
	This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
100% satisfactory.

	Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
	Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
Wireless Tools to be configured :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

	Special notes for distribution maintainers :
	1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
	2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts

	Have fun...
