[PATCH] libertas: always show firmware release

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Always shows the firmware release.

Also converts the firmware release into something that is easily comparable.

I've made this patch because recently different firmware versions behaved
different, e.g. the MESH TLV differs according to fw release.
