If it is too old, pl= ease update to at least 4.2.6. If it is still there, check that if your firmware updating is really succes= sful. You can try to run linux kernel driver to have a double check.

For some reason this functio= n reaches TIMEOUT for more than maximum allowed times (10 times). In the no= te below I understand that several failures may be considerable but not as = many as I have. Should I enlarge the retries number ? Is it a HW issue ? Anyone who faced it or may assist please comment. Thanks, Yan
