[PATCH] libertas: prioritize usb8388_v5.bin firmware on OLPCmachines

From: Andres Salomon
Date: Sun Jul 31 2011 - 03:03:14 EST


Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available. However, on
OLPC XO-1 machines, the v5 firmware supports extra functionality. This
makes the libertas driver attempt to load the v5 firmware first if the
machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC machine),
fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares.
