From 8437754c83351d6213c1a47ff029c1126d6042a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Natarajan Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:21:25 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath6kl: Use vmalloc instead of kmalloc for fw Sometimes it has been observed that allocating a contiguous memory of more than 100K fails with kmalloc. This has been modified to use vmalloc instead.
