Yes, I have file fw525.dfu from original installation CD.
File is available for example here:
http://home.online.no/~edg-edva/fw525.dfu

On web is available newer software, but without newer firmware.
Only firmware updater software, but without *.dfu file.

Windows software tells me, that I have 525 firmware in my dongle.

Best regards,

Pavel Ruzicka

I don't know of any and flashing another one breaks your Microsoft
dongle completly.

The only dongle that can be easily updated using the Apple firmware is
from D-Link. And I only had success with the B3 revision. The B4 is not
working and I broke another dongle of mine.

So I won't go any further with firmware upgrades until the manufactures
come to me and say that they wanna have a Linux firmware upgrade tool.

Regards

Marcel

Michal probably means "Microstar" not "Microsoft" dongle, because he has
maybe same dongle MS-6970 like me.

Can you tell me, if firmware for D-link use different key than firmware
for MSI?
It's possible to get this information from DFU file?

I don't know, but I think so. You can check the USB vendor and product
id for your dongle. If it is not the CSR default 0a12:0001 you shouldn't
even think about a firmware upgrade.

> It's possible to get this information from DFU file?

Not that I know.

the 525 firmware is HCI 16.4 and you already had this on your dongle.
