+ The below are options for wavefront_synth features:
+ wf_raw - Assume that we need to boot the OS (default:no)
+ If yes, then during driver loading, the state of the board is
+ ignored, and we reset the board and load the firmware anyway.
+ fx_raw - Assume that the FX process needs help (default:yes)
+ If false, we'll leave the FX processor in whatever state it is
+ when the driver is loaded. The default is to download the
+ microprogram and associated coefficients to set it up for
+ "default" operation, whatever that means.
+ debug_default - Debug parameters for card initialization
+ wait_usecs - How long to wait without sleeping, usecs
+ (default:150)
+ This magic number seems to give pretty optimal throughput
+ based on my limited experimentation.
+ If you want to play around with it and find a better value, be
+ my guest. Remember, the idea is to get a number that causes us
+ to just busy wait for as many WaveFront commands as possible,
+ without coming up with a number so large that we hog the whole
+ CPU.
+ Specifically, with this number, out of about 134,000 status
+ waits, only about 250 result in a sleep.
+ sleep_interval - How long to sleep when waiting for reply
+ (default: 100)
+ sleep_tries - How many times to try sleeping during a wait
+ (default: 50)
+ ospath - Pathname to processed ICS2115 OS firmware
+ (default:wavefront.os)
+ The path name of the ISC2115 OS firmware. In the recent
+ version, it's handled via firmware loader framework, so it
+ must be installed in the proper path, typically,
+ /lib/firmware.
+ reset_time - How long to wait for a reset to take effect
+ (default:2)
+ ramcheck_time - How many seconds to wait for the RAM test
+ (default:20)
+ osrun_time - How many seconds to wait for the ICS2115 OS
+ (default:10)
+
This module supports multiple cards and ISA PnP.
+ Note: the firmware file "wavefront.os" was located in the earlier
+ version in /etc. Now it's loaded via firmware loader, and
+ must be in the proper firmware path, such as /lib/firmware.
+ Copy (or symlink) the file appropriately if you get an error
+ regarding firmware downloading after upgrading the kernel.
