Bug#553441: "Firmware too old"
 

I have a newer kernel: 2.6.32-3-686, and I'm getting:

usb 1-1: firmware file rt2870.bin is too old; driver requires v12 or later
ERROR!!! NICLoadFirmware failed, Status[=0x00000001]
!!! RTxx70 Initialize fail !!!

And I have a 07d1:3c09 D-Link System DWA-140 802.11n

This has nothing to do with this bug #553441. However, it is a bug and
will be fixed in firmware-nonfree 0.23.
