This firmware does _only_ work on wireless core revisions 5, 6, 7,
8 or 10.
There are reports of it working on rev.9 cores. Is that possible?
(Resend of previous mail to the list.)
Hi there,
I get this

it should be a rev.9 core. Well, I got it running in monitor mode, I
clear saw tcpdump doing its work. But I think Michael is right, just
after a while it crashed: before doing that syslog filled up with

repeated hundreds of time. I'm using wireless-testing (git-pulled this
morning) e latest firmware image. I succeeded to find three cards and
they all are rev.9!
