David, Is this patch good enough for being accepted? Please let me know if any more work has to be done on this. Also, I want to send the changes to the be2net driver which would use this ethtool feature. Any ETA for applying the patch to the git tree? I will schedule my driver patch according to that.

Also, I sent you a series of patches back in April that you have apparently ignored, although the corresponding kernel patches are in 2.6.31: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/127025>.

I guess not :-) Please resubmit the kernel side patch, it'll get into patchwork and I'll apply it.

Thanks David. I am resending both the user space and the kernel side patches. -Ajit -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.
