Unfortunately, I can't just release this firmware, it was mostly internal experimental builds, we released the -6 version later. However, as Thomas pointed out, it should be possible to backport some patches to make the driver in 3.1.9 work with the device, that simply wasn't a concern for us and it's not entirely clear to me that such patches are candidates for stable. johannes -- 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
