Oh please do not do this.  My 10.1 firmware works very nicely,
and out-performs 10.2 in my testing.  Lots of people use my firmware
when they need IBSS support or other features not found in
official firmware, so it is not just me that will have
problems if you remove this support.

Aah.. I thought CT firmware is 10.2 based. Since most of firmware bug fixes and enhancements are integrated into 10.2 based firmware, we thought of get rid of 10.1 firmware to reduce code size. Moreover existing 10.1 official firmware has known issues. Is it possible to upgrade CT firmware to 10.2 WMI/HTT interfaces?
