usb: fix the ID for the dual-band Wistron AR5523 USB NIC Use the correct ID. I've verified this against the Linux driver; it doesn't have device 0x082a in there, only 0x0828.

Huh, this arrived in:

Move the new USB stack into its new home.Curiously that change is mostly moving files around but also includes some new content, in particular including usbdevs and the new AR5523_2 entry. I think usbdevs came originally from NetBSD, but the change that added AR5523_2 happened in 2010, after the commit above:

From Anon Ymous:
Port of the otus driver from OpenBSD. This driver supports USB 2.0
wireless network devices based on Atheros Communications AR9001U
chipset. It claims to support several AR9001U based adapters, but has
only been tested with a NetGear WNDA3100 adapter (0x0846/0x9010).
XXX: The EDCA support is currently missing from our network stack
(hopefully coming soon), but the driver hooks for it are there.OK, so this came from OpenBSD originally, and there the value was changed from 0x0828 to 0x082a with FreeBSD as a reference, in 2007:

fix uath entry.
from FreeBSDOk, looking at FreeBSD history before then I find

And the Linux 0x0828 arrived via

ar5523: Add new driver
This driver is for the AR5523 chipset from Atheros. It was created
in 2007 by Christoph Hellwig but it was never finished. I found it a
couple of months ago and after some polishing it's working pretty
fine.
The driver was written with the FreeBSD driver (uath) as reference,
which was written with the reverse-engineered windows driver as
reference, hence the feature set is very limited. Station mode
only, no HW crypto offload.

Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>So it could be that FreeBSD incorrectly had 0x0828, Christoph Hellwig took our driver as a reference in 2007, @sam fixed the value in to 0x082a in FreeBSD later in 2007 and then Pontus Fuchs finished off the old Linux driver but never looked at FreeBSD again to find the updated ID.

OK, if you have a device that has this ID we should clearly add it back. Perhaps we should add AR5523_2_ALT or something like that for 0x882a.

update with historical reference from emaste, be clearer that
i have the NIC in question.
