>From manufacturers point of view it is easier to have identical
products... The file is part of the filesystem and has the same
time/date as the rest. However I'm not 100% sure that this eeprom data
is actually used by the ath_pci driver, there is no reference to it in
any logging.

I found no accessible mtd under Linux that contains eeprom data, it
could be that a calibration partition is not available via mtd.

I've checked the firmware upgrade file and it looks like a raw dump of
the entire flash (16M). I'll try to read back the flash under U-boot
and compare it to the original firmware. The diff should show settings
and maybe calibration data...
