In https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996, failure of driver r8712u is reported, with a timeout during module loading due to synchronous loading of the firmware. The code now uses request_firmware_nowait(). Signed-off-by: Larry Finger --- Greg, This patch probably should go to stable, but I want you to judge whether it is too invasive for that.
