Let's not. There's no firmware for the 8361 that implements the firmware interface currently implemented by the mwl8k driver, so this is pretty useless. > [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/newbies/msg46601.html >From that link: | I have a card which modprobes, despite a PCI-ID mismatch | | [...] | | Given the pci-id mismatch shouldnt this just fail to modprobe ? No. That's not a bug -- you are free to load drivers for hardware not currently in your system. > static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(mwl8k_pci_id_table) = { > + { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x2a02), .driver_data = MWL8363, }, > { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x2a0a), .driver_data = MWL8363, }, A 8361 is certainly not a 8363. -- 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
