Note that you need to rename them to wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin and wl127x-fw-5-mr.bin, respectively. What we have in the linux-firmware git at the moment are versions 6.3.10.0.133 (singlerole) and 6.5.7.0.42 (multirole). The new ones in TI's github repo are 6.3.10.0.136 and 6.5.7.0.46. If the new firmwares solve your problem, please let me know and I'll push them to the linux-firmware git repo. > > To use the driver in the Luca's tree I need to do some work to adapt my > > platform to the latest kernel version, what I would like to avoid for now. > > Is there any set of patches to put the driver in vanilla kernel 3.9 in a > > more stable condition? > > Well 3.9 is pretty new, so the difference is not that big.

It should be very few patches. And every time you find a new patch that fixes some real issue you're seeing, let me know and I'll send to stable. You're so close to the mainline that it would be silly to use compat just for a few patches. ;) -- Cheers, Luca. -- 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
