I can confirm the card works with the linux-next tree, using a snapshot
I took today.
However, it would be nice to get this working in the 4.1.6 kernel which
supposedly supports the 6174 chip.
The problem in the Fedora kernel is that the direct firmware load fails,
althoug the same firmware works with the linux-next tree.
What would need to be backported to the 4.1 tree in order to get the
card working?
