I'm having a slow time getting updated source from QCA, but I plan to
move to a newer code base when I can get access.

For now, my firmware is based on 10.1.467, but it has quite a bit of improvements
and changes.  It does not support some of the newer chipsets that newer QCA
firmware supports.

Thanks,
Ben
