Hi,

Version 8.24.2.12 of uCode for Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN,
5300AGN, and 5350AGN  is now available for download from
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads

To use this firmware your driver will need to know about the API change.
This patch has just been sent upstream [1].

This ucode includes the fix for the "wrong command queue" problem that
is tracked in [2].

Changes:
     1. Move TXPOWER_DBM from 0x98 to 0x95 
     2. Add Baseband Filter calibration 
     3. Improve other built-in radio calibrations, fix execution order 
     4. Fix "wrong queue" bug due to occasional command serial number
        management 
     5. More reliable scans (including full active dwell time after
        auto-switch from passive to active scan) 
     6. More reliable NULL packet Tx (scan-related) 
     7. More robust RF-kill support 
     8. Tune up some hardware timings 
     9. MAC access wakeup fix 
    10. Better TSF calculation 
    11. Minor improvements to debugging 
    12. Sync with bug fixes from factory
