I recall that > 3945 and 4965 never will. And I assume anything 6xxx-based will get it. > But I was somewhat fuzzy on where the 5xxx series stand. That's not completely correct. Today, we have released firmware with support for it for 100, 105, 135, 2000, 2030, 6205, 6030, 1030 and 6x50 devices. 6x00 doesn't have it, and I don't think it will. I'm pretty sure any 5xxx series (there are a few different ones for Wimax etc.) will not get it. johannes
