[PATCH v2 0/3] libertas_tf: fix setting the hardware address]

[PATCH v2 0/3] libertas_tf: fix setting the hardware address]

[Lubomir Rintel]

Hi,

this is a second version of a patchset addresses a problem with libertas_tf
driver, where the driver registers the interface without having the MAC
address set, only setting it when the interface is brought up.

It fixes an embarassing build issue and folds in fixes for things
pointed up in a review into the patch 2/3.

Cheers,
Lubo

[PATCH v2 1/3] libertas_tf: move hardware callbacks to a separate structure

[Lubomir Rintel]

We'll need to talk to the firmware to get a hardware address before
device is registered with ieee80211 subsystem at the end of
lbtf_add_card(). Hooking the callbacks after that is too late.

[PATCH v2 2/3] libertas_tf: don't defer firmware loading until start()

[Lubomir Rintel]

In order to be able to get a MAC address before we register the device
with ieee80211 we'll need to load the firmware way earlier.

There seems to be one problem with this: the device seems to start
with radio enabled and starts sending in frames right after the firmware
load finishes. Disable the radio as soon as possible.

Changes since v1:
- Fix build
- Reword the commit message not to call the firmware behavior a bug
- Move the radioon = RADIO_OFF initialization a bit earlier

[PATCH v2 3/3] libertas_tf: get the MAC address before registering the device

[Lubomir Rintel]

The start() callback is too late for this: NetworkManager would already
have seen the hardware, thinking 00:00:00:00:00:00 is its permanent
address.
