I think you really ought to support previous firmware and next firmware
for a while at least so not everybody is forced to upgrade
immediately...

Hi Jonas,
We have already mailed the API-3 firmware to Ben Hutching for adding
it to linux-firmware.git.
Meanwhile please get the new AP firmware from
https://github.com/yogeshpowar/mwl8k_ap_firmware
Thanks

Soo ... where does one get this new firmware version? I don't see it
anywhere (especially not in linux-firmware.git). AFAICT mwl8k in
ap-mode is currently broken since this patch got in.

Thanks, with it I can get AP mode to work on both a 2.4 GHz single
band and a dual band card, but a 5 GHz single band card craps out when
bringing up the interface (see the oops at the end).
I haven't looked to deeply into what's happening, and I haven't made
sure yet the problem isn't caused by any OpenWrt modifications (which
is using compat-wirless 2013-01-07). I'll take a closer look tomorrow.
Regards
Jonas
