My guess from this is that I'm using the single stage:
# dmesg | grep ar9170
[ 273.608189] usb 2-1: firmware: requesting ar9170.fw
[ 274.019650] Registered led device: ar9170-phy1::tx
[ 274.019698] Registered led device: ar9170-phy1::assoc

It is unclear to me which are actually used.
By default the ar9170.fw is tried first, if that fails then the others
are tried. The 2-stage firmware will not be tried if your device
cannot handle it but right now only the AVM Fritz devices can't handle
the 2-stage firmware.
Christian should we just remove 2-stage fw support?
