Unfortunately 2.6.33-rc5 hasn't been pushed out yet so I just overwrote the old rc4 package (next time I'll just add an extra extra version when this happens). The new sha1sum for this release is: c007d7c8649d6149f415ea87dc7a34d4ee808766 compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc4.tar.bz2 Just kicked out a bleeding edge release with the same fixes: 65bb3cd6565f1788a2c63bfe8ccfdd8dfc1fb368 compat-wireless-2010-01-20.tar.bz2 Please let us know if there are any issues. I should note that the new compat_firmware_class will be used *every time* compat-wireless is used firmware needs to be uploaded, not just for the new request_firmware_nowait(). Luis
