IMPORTANT: you must upgrade your wpi-firmware package to rev. 2.14.4
or the driver will stop working.

Major wpi(4) update:

1/ Update the driver to use the new firmware images from Intel (2.14.3.)
2/ Read the list of supported channels from the EEPROM instead of having
   it hard-coded in the driver.
3/ Limit output power to what is specified in EEPROM.
4/ Decrease output power for highest OFDM rates to reduce distortion.
5/ Automatically adjust output power to temperature changes for increased
   throughput and range.
6/ Attach the adapter's onboard thermal sensor to the sensor framework.
7/ Replace 'magic' fields in structures with their correct definitions.

NOTE1: you must upgrade your wpi-firmware package to rev 2.14.3 or the
driver will stop working.

NOTE2: if you are using a channel not allowed by the regulatory domain
of your adapter, you will no longer be able to associate.
