The patch really did improve firmware loading. Weird... Even with it I still get occasional i2c errors from r820t: [ 15.874402] r820t 8-003a: r820t_write: i2c wr failed=-32 reg=0a len=1: da [ 81.455517] r820t 8-003a: r820t_read: i2c rd failed=-32 reg=00 len=4: 69 74 e6 df [ 99.949702] r820t 8-003a: r820t_read: i2c rd failed=-32 reg=00 len=4: 69 74 e6 df These errors seem to appear more often if I'm reading the signal strength values using e.g. femon.
