Re: SMC2662W V.4

Hi,
       I just got mixed up, 7 is BOARDTYPE_505A_RFMD_2958 instead of 
BOARDTYPE_505_RFMD_2958, and BOARDTYPE_505A_RFMD_2958 is'nt    listed in 
the switch case block (in* get_hw_config*). So BOARDTYPE_505A_RFMD_2958 
will need to be added to the switch case block in* get_hw_config*. I'll 
try that and notify you if it works (or not)

          Alex
