Tony,
Could you elaborate on the Agere enhancements? Thanks.

Hello Grant,
This is a simple compatibility update to ensure full support for Agere's latest and gratest firmware on their Hermes and Ruby cards.
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only change was to recognize the cards new ID number, or something like that, right? Each new chipset or manufacturer change means a new ID number. The driver does not know if the card is compatable or not unless it's ID tag is on it's list of compatable cards.

It depends on the manufactuerer. Prism-based OEMs tend to changed IDs for each new product, where as Hermes-based OEMs tend to keep the same ID for their entire product line. the Ruby-based card was the first I've seen that had a different ID.
