We have all kinds of firmware with the new instruction set. It's only ucode2 (old instruction set) that's missing. But the later ucode4 which also uses the old instruction set is available in v4. OTOH, ucode13 isn't available in v3. We can't offer one firmware version for all card revisions. Both are limited to a specific range of revisions. v3 rev2...rev12 v4 rev4...<=rev13 Martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
