Fixes a send that failed with "could not read the peer table ... awdl_advertisers: no reply".

Fixes

  • Sends no longer fail when the peer table is busy. The panel reads the table of nearby devices every couple of seconds, and a send reads it too. When two reads overlapped, one could fail and the send showed that error. Driver 0.5.1 fixes the radio helper, so overlapping reads all succeed.
  • omdrop install-driver upgrades any older driver. It now compares the installed package version with the one the plugin pins, so it also picks up fixes like this one that change nothing visible from outside the driver.

Requires brcmfmac-awdl-dkms 0.5.1. Click the panel's install button, or run omdrop install-driver, to upgrade.
