Subject: iwlwifi: accept EEPROM version 0x423 for iwl6000
From: John W. Linville <linvi...@tuxdriver.com>
commit 3d7dc7e8c1566acb0fc55df228b2ed91f5638e9d upstream.
A number of these devices have appeared "in the wild", and apparently
the Windows driver is perfectly happy to support this EEPROM version.
