From 4843b5a731b31916d100cfc5ba4d03ae78462ed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reinette Chatre Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 09:38:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: reset card during probe To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call. This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.
