Yeah, Linus' tree does have support for this firmware revision we are rejecting with this patch. :) This patch was lost in the 2.6.24 release cycle, so I'd like to push it through -stable to confuse users less with strange warnings caused by using wrong firmware. This patch doesn't remove any functionality or something, it simply transforms a blowing up firmware into a nice error message. :) -- Greetings Michael. - 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
