[LAU] RME Hammerfall Firmware Rev 10

[Alex Norman]

Is the firmware revision 10 still the newest firmware version that will work
with linux?
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=RME&card=Hammerfall+DSP+9652.&chip=FPGA&module=hdsp
I see above that at one point people were able to downgrade to revision 10 but
RME no longer has that firmware revision on their webpage.  Does anyone have the
flash update tool that would let me do this? [and the appropriate windoze driver
if necessary].

I'm at Rev 11 and I get this when I plug in my multiface

dmesg snip
[   25.933000] Hammerfall-DSP: loading firmware

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.
thanks,
