So far no H:5 hardware required extra settings. This will be the first one.

This will have to wait a little then, as 3.17 kernel don't boot on this device yet: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84241 -- 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
