Also @jhb from looking at the code, on which PCI devices should it be called? I am still confused by the (original) naming of "root". I would assume it's supposedly called on a pcib. Is that correct?

@bz, I installed 15.0 from the memstick image over a wireless connection (Intel ax210 card). This wasn't possible with 14.3, so it's progress. Do you think it's implied that this applies to WiFi chipsets supported by this firmware? I can try to be more specific with something like

The bootonly ISO and mini-memstick image now include the wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod and net/wifi-firmware-rtw88-kmod packages, allowing installations over a wireless connection using Wi-Fi chipsets supported by these firmware. Those with Wi-Fi chipsets that require other firmware should use the DVD ISO.

Does that feel too wordy and more like support than something suitable for a release announcement?

Thanks! That lately was a source of conflict with the 2-3 commits that came in the last half year.
I still wonder if alternatively we put it into a C file on make in non-static; not sure if it is long-term more stable or if loader can easily link in another USB file?

In D53899#1231632, @glebius wrote:

AFAIU, when arptimer() finds entry in state ARP_LLINFO_REACHABLE it gives it arp_rexmit time (1 second) to get feedback from the forwarding path and sets its state to ARP_LLINFO_VERIFY. In 1 second if feedback was collected, it will issue arprequest(). My concern is that the jitter is bigger than 1 second. I could be wrong, and my concern is erroneous. I just wanted to make sure that this specific behavior is checked to persist. I don't think we have a regression test for it.

In D53899#1231618, @glebius wrote:

In the past we used to have a logic that would renew ARP entires before they expire. The ARP request is sent before an entry is about to be expired. The goal is to avoid to have a doubled RTT on normal traffic every time we renew the entry. I did a quick look around, and failed to find the logic. Is it still there?

My concern is that added jitter may conflict with that. Entries might be deleted earlier than they were tried to be renewed.

After some discussion with someone, we now generate the firmware list
from the WHENCE file in linux-firmware.git given the driver firmware
name creation is too dynamic. This adds some extra firmware files we
did not have before. See files/extract-fw-list.sh.
