The driver internally talks to the chip e.g. to download the firmware patch. When running against UF6026 (a fairly common 2 year old n-wireless core from CSR), it complains: UniFi f/w protocol major version (8) is different from driver (v9.1). Three things about this: 1) You'd think the f/w protocol would be at least slightly backwards-compatible (sigh). 2) The driver probe should check for an unsupported hwids and blacklist them. 3) UF60xx series are not really old and yet this driver seems to be based on the newer CSR software for UF80xx, so it cannot really be called "CSR" driver. Perhaps "CSR8000 driver"? ____ Alex Feinman _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
