From b663cd10f0ba351ae520fa3627e13061d7f8e714 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Braun Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:33:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rt2800usb:fix hang during firmware load The device 057c:8501 (AVM Fritz! WLAN v2 rev. B) boots into a state that does not actually require loading a firmware file. The vendors driver finds out about this by checking a firmware state register, so this patch adds this here. Finally, with this patch applied, my wifi dongle actually becomes useful (scan + connect to wpa network works). Signed-off-by: Michael Braun Acked-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W.
