It wasn't exactly fixed and it's really more of a userspace problem - we
probably request firmware version 8, and then it takes 30 seconds to
time out for each of 8,7,6,5, after which the next request for 4 is
successful.

Why's it requesting those firmwares?  They don't seem to exist on
intellinuxwireless.org.

Well for one you've never even mentioned what device you have, and then
also it's not requesting 8/7 only 6,5,4 -- I guess the timeout was
increased to 60 seconds (or I'm remembering wrong and it always was? I
thought it was 30s)
