Nope. There is no difference. They both should send _exactly_ the same USB byte stream to the usb8388. If they do not, there is a bug. Unfortunately nobody at Marvell who actually _has_ documentation on how to flash for the active antenna and later boot2 firmware changes (if any) volunteered that information or tried to fix the tool, to my knowledge. I didn't have active antenna hardware myself, and therefore I can't risk bricking the _only_ usb8388 I have with random firmware that wasn't intended for my part. I'm happy to test this out and try to get the userspace tool working again if given: 1) one or more active antenna modules to potentially brick 2) documentation on what exactly has changed (if anything) between boot2 3107 and the active antenna boot2 firmware dan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
