But this will be difficult (as expected by you and Laurent) - their process only supports requests from companies that sign an NDA. But I opened a ticket as well to see if there's a way to get access to their developer network someway, or if it is possible that they send only the documents required.

Cool, the code might give additional information. I've also send a
request regarding the firmware and HW documentation to the author and
the engineers that signed the patch. The firmware in the patch has a
different version string and the size is surprisingly a few MB bigger
than the one I used for the first experiment. I'll give that one a try
as well.

It looks a this firmware is for the 2400 variant; I could also not
extract the irci version string. Thus I'll not try them for the moment
to perform experiments.

It identifies itself as irci_stable_bw10p_0518_20150801_0537; I'll give
that one a try first. As usual it will unfortunately take some time
until I get back to you with the results, as every experiment takes
many hours (building the kernel on what is essentially a tablet takes
time).
