Any clues would be helpful. I have a Gumstix Overo Fire with a built in libertas_sdio, and an ar9170usb It finds the libertas firmware just fine, but not the ar9170 firmware. I'm using a 2.6.29 kernel. This worked fine with compat-wireless-2009-11-17. All the firmware files are in /lib/firmware. Here's some dmesg output: [ 18.834564] lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers [ 18.834564] lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' [ 18.951324] libertas_sdio: Libertas SDIO driver [ 18.951354] libertas_sdio: Copyright Pierre Ossman [ 18.974456] libertas_sdio mmc1:0001:1: firmware: requesting sd8686_helper.bin [ 21.569885] Generic kernel compatibility enabled based on linux-next next-20100113 [ 21.583374] libertas_sdio mmc1:0001:1: firmware: requesting sd8686.bin [ 21.845703] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain [ 22.728393] ar9170usb 2-2.4:1.0: usb_probe_interface [ 22.728424] ar9170usb 2-2.4:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id [ 22.818023] usb 2-2.4: reset high speed USB device using ehci-omap and address 3 [ 23.028930] libertas: 00:19:88:21:57:9e, fw 9.70.3p24, cap 0x00000303 [ 23.044372] eth0 (libertas_sdio): not using net_device_ops yet [ 23.091583] libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2 [ 23.107025] libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2 [ 23.107238] libertas: eth0: Marvell WLAN 802.11 adapter [ 23.973846] usb 2-2.4: firmware: requesting ar9170.fw [ 83.974090] usb 2-2.4: ar9170.fw firmware file not found, trying old firmware...
