For the record.. I thought I mentioned this in another PR already.

Using the new firmware and adding the PCI IDs is enough to detect
the cards and get some basic stuff working. The major part of the
features is not though. At least on 11n HT40 you will definitely
get a firmware crash. Also, the throughput sucks, even in legacy
mode.

I'm not able to pin the cause, working on it. Johannes is also
looking into it.
