I doubt that the API differs among the SotfMAC firmwares (it is possible
though). More likely the frame start doesn't have to match an offset after
the USB transfer start, rather it is marked somehow. If that is the case
we can find how by comparing the frames. Can you post your frame and the
different one? Mine folows.

You know the version before the device, as it uses the firmware you load :)
It should be possible to read the firmware back though, and then get the
version the using fwextract method.

the received frame starts at 0x4a, then is received I don't know what,
then two frames transmitted, both start at 0x24
