[ath9k-devel] Bug on ath9k_htc

[Nico Cesar]

Hi,

I got

[ 646.367797] ath9k_htc 1-5:1.0: ath9k_htc: FW Version: 1.4
[ 646.367807] ath9k_htc 1-5:1.0: ath9k_htc: Please upgrade to FW version 1.3

on a 3.8.5 kernel installed from:

http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/pool/main/l/linux-libre32-3.8/linux-libre32-3.8_3.8.5_i386.deb

when trying to upload the libre firmware from:

https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware

the check should be changed on:

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_init.c?v=3.4;a=arm#L773

Instead of a " != " should be something more intelligent

Since we have version 1.4 now:

https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/commit/4c9d9e854e0b2f59ca887bb083cc07d35a24693a

Thanks,
Nico

[ath9k-devel] Bug on ath9k_htc

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

The stable branch is 1.3. there's 1.3.1 release binaries and a 1.3 branch.

The 1.4 stuff is for development. I believe someone is working on the
right ath9k_htc check.

I'd like ath9k_htc to check that the version is at least 1.3.

Ie, my intention is from now on that >= 1.3 API won't change in a
backwards incompatible way. The first "break" version will be 2.x.

(There's only major.minor numbering; there's currently no WMI API to
push up a build string from firmware. Hopefully I'll make that happen
for 1.4.)

Thanks,



Adrian
