It is important to point out that for external magnetometer / GPS unit you always at least need to incorporate magnetometer roll 180 because compass is upside down under GPS antenna. You can still set x/y orientation, but z orientation should always be roll 180.
From a hardware standpoint it is completely understandable that it is this way, but from a user standpoint it can cause some confusion.

Was it supposed to come out today?
Hi, can I confirm that there is no choice but to use ArduCopter 3.0 with new APM 2.6?
Is there any way of using Arducopter 2.9.1b with APM 2.6? Aligning APM and external compass to the front of aircraft?
Felix: Yes. You'll need to use ArduCopter 3.0 or above software.
Will the APM 2.6 work with a MediaTek GPS if I add an external Magnetometer?
Raph. Look for news tomorrow.
no update on this? i'm just waiting on 2.6 to place my order :/

Tony: Get a RMA and have it replaced.
Chris
I have loaded the new MPI too no avail. At this point it appears that I have a hardware problem. I am not sure what my options are.
New computer
This computer... refresh the hard drive and reload the operating system.
Cut my hands off so I am unable to fly a copter.
How can support help me?
Tony, the MSI file I linked to above is an installer, and will install the correct drivers.
