I just talked with Pat Mochel about this (the person doing most of the power management stuff in 2.5) and we both agreed that firmware download should still be done from userspace. Most of the power management logic is going to be running in userspace anyway. This will allow us to save driver state, and walk the device trees easier. Details on how all of this is going to work is still being developed, but go join the acpi or linux-power mailing lists if you're interested. Since userspace will be running, downloading firmware is still a possibility. And if your swap device is mounted over nfs through a ppp connection on a usb-serial device that needs firmware downloaded to it, you deserve any problems that this might cause :) So in conclusion, I'm still moving the usb-serial drivers firmware download out of the kernel into userspace. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
