I tried that but it didn't work; the card was detected but the firmware
failed to load. The patch I formed is at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1069561
The exact same firmware and board.bin works with the linux-next tree.
However, now that the development version of Fedora comes with kernel
4.3, I can just recompile the package for my laptop. This problem should
solve itself with time..
