I have an RT5370 adapter from Panda Wireless and use it on my Ubuntu
14.04 laptop.
It is working fine on my laptop.

>From my laptop:
rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Firmware detected - version: 0.29

I didn't see the warnings reported in the Bug 114151.

Just curious how to test version 0.36 on my laptop.

Thanks.

Alan
