Hi again,
my N8 has arrived. I will try it out tonight.

As I understand, if you decide to upgrade the N8 firmware to the latest version
it will not support mLan ever again (there is no way to undo this). Questions:

1. Wich is the latest firmvare version with mLan-support?

2. How can I find out wich firmware that is installed i my N8.

3. Will there ever be a mLan16e2 (i.e. with support for the mLan successor) for
Motif ES?

Regards / Mattias

others may be able to help you with this. I only use my single n12 and the new
driver works great. When your desk arrives I would guess it would still need to
be upgraded as well. (I got a replacement and this did)
