Not good :-( But still, the driver talks to the firmware and so far you 
were shipping both (3825/3826.arm) firmwares together so I hoped they 
offer same API when accessed over SPI. Or do you have some special and 
different 3826.arm firmware now for open source driver? Or is the 
difference in umac.ko for 770 vs N8x0? I hope not, I think Poky people 
were succesfull with 2.6.18 kernel and umac.ko for N800 runing on 770. 
So can we take the firmware as working black box offering same 
functionality for both chips?
