wimax/i2400m: driver loads firmware v1.4 instead of v1.3
This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4 of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the linux-firmware tree and it is already available at http://linuxwimax.org/Download. The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and Clearwire. As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware. The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware and the 1.4 user space components. We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change, but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration. Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a driver that doesn't have this modification by: $ cd /lib/firmware $ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf $ ln -sf i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbc i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
