[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH v2] mac80211: install new firmware for ath9k-htc on target

[Alexey Brodkin]

For quite some time new firmware for ath9k-htc devices
is available in
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ath9k_htc/

Moreover ath9k-htc kernel driver expects this new v1.4
firmware to exist in /lib/firmware/ath9k_htc.

What happens currently:
---------------------------->8--------------------------
[    7.830000] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: Firmware ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw
requested
[    7.840000] usb 1-1: Direct firmware load for
ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw failed with error -2
[    7.850000] usb 1-1: Falling back to user helper

[    7.880000] firmware ath9k_htc!htc_9271-1.4.0.fw:

[   10.760000] ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9271 Rev:1
---------------------------->8--------------------------

And with that patch new firmware is used instead:
