Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] ATH10K VLAN firmware issue

[Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>]

The beta-18 release on my web page has the fix and should work fine.

Probably soon I will promote the beta-18 to final release
status.  Any help in testing and verifying the beta works well
is welcome.

Thanks,
Ben
