Comment 98 for bug 210725

Some very interesting developments over on eeeuser.com forums.

One of the users contacted ralink about the crappy encryption methods, Ralink sent them v1.7.1.1 "specifically designed for the eeepc". The most interesting changes here include major updates to include/firmware.h

There is certainly code in v1.7.1.1 that is missing from both v1.7.0.0 and v1.8.0.0.

I don't know what kind of development process ralink takes, but something fishy is going on in their release cycle.
