I was using an older version of compat-wireless, specifically a build
from May 2011.  In that release of compat-wireless, the firmware was
loaded manually using a filesystem mounted in /sys.

I recently downloaded a newer version of compat-wireless:
compat-wireless-3.0.9-1.  In this version, it appears to spawn a
kernel thread to check /lib/firmware for the firmware and load it.  If
it is present, it loads the firmware, otherwise it fails saying that
it cannot be found.

I am having trouble with the automatic load:
<3>[  178.957584] otg_err: in s5pc110_otghcd_urb_dequeue()::00508
<3>[  178.958650] => fail to cancel_transfer()
<7>[  178.959879] usb 1-1.2: hcd_unlink_urb d13aa200 fail -1
<7>[  178.962510] usb 1-1.2: khubd timed out on ep0out len=0/4096
<3>[  178.963274] usb 1-1.2: ath9k_htc: Firmware - htc_7010.fw download failed
<4>[  178.971658] ath9k_htc: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -22

Is there a way to configure (e.g., config.mk) compat-wireless to use
the manual way?  So I'd like to give the manual route a shot.

Thanks!
George

The FW is found, but transferring it to the device fails for some reason.
Can you give more details about the platform ?
