Intel 5350 Firmware Download Issue

[Brandon Dell]

Dan,
  When you run lsusb, what product ID number does it return?  I am wondering if there is a correlation between performance and product ID as Jerone pointed out in his October 20th post.

My card is also of the 0x1403 variety.
 
Thanks,
Brandon

Just to add a note, I have a USBMA and it works fine with the 5350 that
I have and every other pci-e minicard I have.  So it's probably not the
USBMA board.
