[PATCH] iwlwifi 3945 debug parameter should be writable via sysfs

From: SL Baur
Date: Mon Apr 21 2008 - 03:11:26 EST


Is there any reason why the debug parameter in the iwlwifi driver
should be read-only?

(Patch inlined and attached since I'm sure it will get whitespace
broken).


The debug parameter of the Intel 3945ABG driver should be writable
via sysfs.
