From 6f7b4725e2a664dadf2b9cc3bb56299be7d8c2fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xuxinchun1003 Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 07:41:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: document tested TP-Link 2357:0147 unit and scope MCU-revision claims Per review: distinguish the tested hardware revision (this unit: chip_id=7, chip_sub_id=1, chip_mcu_id=1) from any assumption that every device with this VID/PID is MCU1. The ID-table entry only routes to the DC path; mcu gating is runtime. --- README.md | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 2ee22d6..8417a52 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -19,6 +19,15 @@ This driver supports AIC8800-family chipsets used by devices such as the Tenda U Added support for devices with Vendor ID 368B (tested). +> [!NOTE] +> **Tested `2357:0147` hardware (this branch):** TP-Link AIC8800DC USB WiFi, +> `chip_id=7`, `chip_sub_id=1`, `chip_mcu_id=1` (MCU revision of *this unit*, +> readback `0x40500000 = 0x09078818`; firmware `zh Aug 08 2022 … gcf79227`). +> The USB-ID entry itself is MCU-revision-agnostic (routing to the DC path; +> mcu gating happens at runtime), but **other units sold under the same +> VID/PID may be a different MCU revision** — check the driver log against +> the branch-selection note above. + Tested on Linux kernel 6.16 with Ubuntu 25.04 and 6.1.0.27 with Debian 12.
