Thanks for the work on this chipset.

check if your firmware md5sum matches those on our wiki site (see kconfig for link)

Any ftp location rather than via git?

I don't know of any ftp/http mirror, so you want to use git.

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

will get the whole tree and don't worry it is not that big yet...

Regards,
Chr

Thanks. It works now. Will try to create the interfarce pre-up init script now.

Have a nice week end.
