 we would like to update the wireless firmware for update 1 to build
 libertas-usb8388-firmware-5.110.20.p49-1.fc7

 Changelog follows.  It is on its way into joyride for testing there.

 Wireless firmware release 5.110.20.p49
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 ChangeLog:

 5.110.20.p49:
 Fix for #5194:
                 In some cases firmware fails to return association
 (command code 0x50) response back to the driver
                 locking up command task.

 5.110.20.p48:
 New feature:    Send probe response only in ad-hoc mode with max 2 probe
 responses
                 per probe request.

 Fix for #5194:
                 The following symptom has been fixed.
                  1. iwlist ethX scan returned no result
                  2. iwconfig returned normally
                  3. Both LEDs off
                  4. iwpriv mshX fwt_time returned bad address.

                  There was a problem in association state machine causing
 command task to go
                  into busy state --returning busy to all the commands.
                  The command execution is serialized within firmware, and
 certain command
                  execution involves multiple tasks within firmware. The
 moment that the management
                  task, which handles association, posted results to
 command task, before
                  finishing current execution, the command task started
 another command execution,
                  while management task was still busy with previous
 command resulting
                  association state machine into bad state.

 Fix for #5461:
                  Do not return busy (0x4) command response to host for
 internal commands such as
                  mesh auto start enable.
