And, as previously promised, there is now a 'community'
version that may be used commercially or otherwise, under
the same restrictions as that of the official QCA firmware.

The only difference is that the community version will not
allow multiple station vifs to connect to the same AP when
using encryption because it does not allow software-rx-crypt.
Multiple stations to same AP with open authentication works fine
if you are using our kernel patches or some proper subset thereof.

For normal use (single station, or single AP), both images should
act similar and should work on standard un-patched kernels.

See link above for more info...just see notes in bold at top, and
list item #3 for normal-use scenarios.

Thanks,
Ben
