So, plan: I would like to add a command that tells us - it's open source firmware - what additional capabilities the firmware has This has to be a command like the debug commands that we can send from the firmware unilaterally. Easy to do. What I would then like to add is at least proper tx status reporting. I would also like to get rid of the key limitation, if possible. johannes --=-f3vsak4YmTXKurATDDCA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKKZbjAAoJEODzc/N7+QmagesP+waJHvVERwX6PtDAQjGNTY/C eRcPI5pj8Sv4Sk9GdeWPHufl4+m5edgA+0k6DURA6uhwSkDpATy8USSzjNlcB584 HbTTxixEnjcWfGIw1iqdeUpJXBO0TT4EXZkHrqlLeGE8c/RHc+nlhopOcxMgCsOC 2gWxWZLsjbTkgljICKg42an9JcNWqmrQprGwy2n4EhGIKJKS9TiqtVUI2Vj8XQtm pC+PBAI3EEBsd1xHYyVYfuArqyRs5bYYFO7qrttik5vHsMzKdGOcP1DGsnRzRZvz 70+gnIms2N8rbElXWT+U5afGv1zFlq0RWPI66fb7QGR3jz+AoyKRAw+MRevGkXcf BX2YjczFk6TMpH9GoS8k5ssfxvR5aIp7SudEpwKL+tHlD6FkG0hryMDNGjaB8cyb ecIIsSmQC+nuST+98qAiydpdIFODOQCsQErl4wlfExaVAynGBRkxuS/Tdn7XnDlZ 9/MdeUoUtqFEgXc79R66GGhw0Dt/N7F4z03ahghhvcYGN2CmiBsnJLLzERGOHQUl k2ohhITyOcMoljDc/B5a/pM/KQsqVINPAajcm3vuF1Z9ahxYGeImGmnWiauIrShE dvhfAgw6kp4DItMfnkPNbmTPXx2Dz73UHVrTqEtuYv/8yUr6UKSoPLIm/sVRG0u8 WQF3D4jHuFqDFolPujdS =gT6u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-f3vsak4YmTXKurATDDCA-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
