I am not sure this is really the case currently.  But, once the
blob is generated and stored in RAM, it would be easily enough to
add ethtool option to dump it w/out debugfs support.  This will
still not really address my concerns because it may take a year
or two for the latest ethtool binary to make it to normal-ish users.

I think ethtool would not be overly hard to implement...basic framework is already
in the wifi stack.

Few weeks back John Linville sent ethtool related patches to support
something like this. Did you notice that?

I didn't...but will take a look once I get my pending patches
dealt with.

Thanks,
Ben
