There are 2 main problems: 1. The chip has its firmware burned into flash and cannot be upgraded, unlike newer chips where firmware can be loaded into memory (so wil6210 driver can use the firmware file from /lib/firmware). 2. Based on the product description this card was specifically used to connect to the Dell wireless dock which used WBE, so it has a firmware with only WBE support. Thanks, Lior > > Regards, > Vikram >
