Subject: [PATCH 1/2] orinoco: reload firmware on resume

On resume card state is likely lost so we have to reload firmware
again.

Please repost this series with the finalized patches, rebased on the
current wireless-testing. Also, please include the patches inline,
as your MIME encoding is confusing my tools.

Note that if the firmware download fails the card won't work because we no longer allocate a fid. However even if we were to allocate a fid the driver flags would be inconsistent with the firmware capabilities, and the driver would just encounter a bunch of errors.

We should probably think about how we can fall back to the inbuilt firmware after a failed firmware download - but this can be done separately.


Regards,

Dave.
