Re: Which dongle / chipset?: msg#00206

Subject: Re: Which dongle / chipset?
Hi, Marcel
 
this should be working fine and people reported that the HCI firmware of
  MSI and TDK dongles can be updated through their Windows software.


  Do you have a bit more detail  information regarding firmware upgrade for MSI  ?
  If any, please let us know.

  I actually checked Windows software came with MSI P2P Tranceiving Key,
  but could not find the upgrade feature in the software.  
  We also contacted MSI ( branch office in Japan) and they told us that
  they (probably....) don't provide the function.
  They are now escalating the question to the MSI HQ in Taiwan and
  more information from you will be good for us to push them.  

thanks
Taka
