SMC2662W V.4

Hi,

My friend is having troubles getting this driver to work with the SMC 
2662W V.4 . I did some research and found a BSD driver that works with 
it (http://vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/) . There seems to be some funny quirks 
that it works around. Relevant parts of the code seem to be:

    #ifndef ATUWI_NO_RFMD2958_SMC
        /* SMC2662 V.4 */
        { USB_VENDOR_ATMEL,    USB_PRODUCT_ATMEL_AT76C505A,
          RadioRFMD2958_SMC,    ATUWI_QUIRK_NO_REMAP |
    ATUWI_QUIRK_FW_DELAY },
    #endif


Just the general info about it

    /*
     * The SMC2662w V.4 seems to require some time to do it's thing with
     * the external firmware... 20 ms isn't enough, but 21 ms works 100
     * times out of 100 tries. We'll wait a bit longer just to be sure
     */
    if (sc->atuwi_quirk & ATUWI_QUIRK_FW_DELAY) {
        atuwi_msleep(sc, 21 + 100);
    }


Seems that it has a funny quirk (explained well in the comment)

    err = atuwi_usb_request(sc, DFU_REMAP, 0, 0, 0, NULL);
    if ((err) && (! sc->atuwi_quirk & ATUWI_QUIRK_NO_REMAP)) {
        ERROR(("atuwi%d: remap failed!\n", sc->atuwi_unit));
        return err;
    }


Another quirk, something to do with remaps, seems to ignore what would 
otherwise be a problem for other cards

    #ifndef ATUWI_NO_RFMD2958_SMC
        case RadioRFMD2958_SMC:
            ptr=atuwi_fw_rfmd2958_smc_int;
            bytes_left=sizeof(atuwi_fw_rfmd2958_smc_int);
            DEBUG(FLAG_FW,("atuwi%d: loading RFMD2958-smc firmware...\n",
                sc->atuwi_unit));
            break;
    #endif


Apparently it needs it's own firmware

    #ifndef ATUWI_NO_RFMD2958_SMC
    #include <dev/usb/atuwi_rfmd2958-smc_fw.h>


Again the new firmware

    #ifndef ATUWI_NO_RFMD2958_SMC
        case RadioRFMD2958_SMC:
            ptr = atuwi_fw_rfmd2958_smc_ext;
            bytes_left = sizeof(atuwi_fw_rfmd2958_smc_ext);
            DEBUG(FLAG_FW,("atuwi%d: loading external RFMD2958-smc "
                "firmware\n", sc->atuwi_unit));
            break;
    #endif


and more about the new firmware.
I don't have the programming experience to make a version of the driver 
with support for these quirks, and I don't know if Jorg has the time to 
impliment such things. I just though I'd mention what I've found about this.
