The driver may be too new for the current kernel firmware support, so my guess is that the driver is using an old/md/or simpler driver. Unless you actually want to use missing features of your adapter, the firmware may be OK. If you discover an issue, https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/ has drivers too new to be included in the kernel along with advice on preparing bug reports. -- George N. White III
