The logs show this to be version 0.36, whereas the version now in linux-firmware is version 0.29. I downloaded the firmware from b.k.o. It had very little effect on my no-name adapter with ID 148f:3070. It still gets ping losses of 10-15%. Should this new version be submitted to linux-firmware? Its provenance seems to be sketchy, but submission would likely be legal. Larry
