Quoting Michael Buesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> see "fwpostfix" module parameter

Can we please avoid this annoyance this time?

It was bad at the bcm43xx/bcm43xx_mac80211 time, but it's going to be  
a bigger annoyance this time, because the driver with the same name  
"b43" will need a different fwprefix for different kernel versions.

I don't think modprobe.conf can be written to use different options  
for different kernel versions.  And if it can, I don't want to force  
everyone to figure it out.

The driver knows which firmware is needs.  It's the driver's  
responsibility to express its requirements, rather that the users'  
responsibility to figure out which firmware this particular version of  
the driver wants.

iwlwifi changed the firmware name when a different firmware was  
needed.  And that's a good example, in my opinion.
