Remember that it's nearly impossible to kmalloc more than 8K because of the fragmentation. So there's no way in hell to get all that stuff in one chunk (which is why request_firmware uses vmalloc). A driver must stream the firmware if it is longer than 8K, there's no way around it. -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
