Intel 5350 Firmware Download Issue

[Brandon Dell]

   My name is Brandon and I am fairly new to driver development.  I am having a tough time getting the default Intel 5350 WiMax driver to work on my system.  I am running Linux 2.6.31.2.
 
I first tried using the card in my laptop's mini-PCie slot. The Wifi portion works great but the WiMax side was dead.  Thinking it was because my internal mini PCIe slot did not support USB I purchased an external adapter from HWtools.net(http://hwtools.net/Adapter/USBMA.html) that has been tested with the 5350(http://www.bplus.com.tw/PDF/Compatibility_List.pdf) and supposedly should work.  However, I am still getting the following errors upon connecting the device:
 
[ 38.999626] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: firmware: requesting i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf
[ 39.361610] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: boot-mode cmd 2: incomplete transfer (512 vs 16384 submitted)
[ 39.361746] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf: section #1 (@644 16384 B) failed -5
[ 39.361865] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: fw i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf: download failed: -5 [   39.361994] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: cannot bootstrap device: -5
[   39.389521] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: cannot setup device: -5
[   39.389647] i2400m_usb: probe of 8-1:1.0 failed with error -5
 
I placed the firmware files, i2400m-fw-1.3.sbcf and i2400m-fw-1.4.sbcf, in my /lib/firmware folder.
 
This problem is driving me crazy.  I think I have all the hardware I need to support the card but I have run out of ideas at this point. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Brandon
