Use release_firmware() to free requested resources. According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware() call should be followed by a release_firmware(). Some drivers do not however free the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware(). This patch tries to fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used as expected.

README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
