Well, FWIW I offered to _merge_ a patch. :-) But, if I get some confirmation from a credible source at Intel that simply honoring the earlier version is sufficient I should have no particular problem squeezing-out such a patch. John On Tue, Mar 01, 2011 at 03:51:34PM -0300, Sebastian wrote: > Th

Thanks a million John for offering to write a patch. Today I spoke to Nathalie from Intel about this issue, ticket number: 8000209173. Nathalie said she would write to you on behalf of Intel that since Intel are prepared to have me use this card in Windows 7 (same EEPROM, same hardware), as Wey-wi

OK, thanks Wey_yi for chiming in, however, even if i do get the card to work in linux by recompiling the kernel or do use it in windows, as you say, given that the EPROM is not to FCC standard, could I be putting other components of my computer and/or myself at any risk? On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at

Thanks John for the message. Did Wey-yi respond to your mail John? Is the "too old" Eprom, firmware conjecture reasonable, considering the card DOES work in Windows 7 as verified? Unfortunately swapping out the card is not feasible since it would have to travel to Australia from Argentina and then
