Missing board ID 4634 in board-2.bin for QCN9274

[pgupta at hindutool.com]

You may need to contact Compex.  I have three boards each are single band (6, 5, 2.4) in order for linux to recognize, the required re-programming.  There is also a software solution with a new .bin file they have, but I opted for hardcoding and sent the modules back to them.  I would reach our to their support.


Hope this helps someone,

Prashant
