That is the info I am asking -- without being involved in the Libertas
efforts I know of a few issues as discussed in this thread:

 - Deepak mentions it has an incompatibility with the F9 stock kernel
wrt to multicast RX (#7319).

 - WPA timing issues which have been introduced relatively recently,
though I don't know exactly when. I am assuming you do.

 - There is an old issue (seen with the 20.49p firmware and oldish
driver) with the device getting locked up, which gets "solved"
power-cycling the libertas device. Is it fixed in recent drivers /
firmwares? Which ones?

<important part of email - feel free to ignore the rest >
I don't want to argue with anyone -- let's focus on the info I need. I
am looking for a list that has the 3 items above with some status
information (version it appeared / version fixed / etc) _plus_ others
that I don't know about. This list should come from the team working
on the libertas firmware and driver.

Where is that list? Who has it? Who coordinates bugtracking for the
libertas stuff? Can't be that much of a mistery.

Anyway - this is a very odd conversation to be having. I'll blame it
on it being late night in EST TZ, and hope for more info tomorrow.

g'night!
