I'm not sure why people are complaining about stuff that's not done, yet. I just said that we need an update to an incompatible firmware soon. HOW that happens is an entirely different question. It seems like we _might_ be able to support both fw versions for some limited time. If that is not possible for whatever reason, I will change the fw filenames, of course. (And people will complain about that, too. Because the rule for broadcom firmware is: Always complain about whatever you do. ;) ) The _just_ wanted to tell people about a serious change _before_ it happens. I'm not sure why this results in all kinds of complaints. Thanks anyway for the feedback. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
