It seems to work well - and solved at least one problem with the LinkSys WPC-11 card. These are the cards I could successfully update: Firmware 1.7.4 (Primary Firmware 1.1.1): NetGear MA-311 CompuShack SWN-103 Intersil PRISM 2.5 miniPCI evaluation board These cards all work with the IBMPRISM driver. Intersil ISL37300P PRISM 2.5 PCMCIA evaluation board (identical to NetGear MA-401) LinkSys WPC-11 V.3.1 - with this firmware no additional workaround code is needed to operate this card. These cards work with the PRISM2PLUS driver (not yet GA, but will be part of GENPRISM) Firmware 1.5.6 (Primary Firmware 0.3.0): FiberLine WL-100X (alias ZComax XI-300B) - this card is really old, but works well with this firmware, too. This card also works with the PRISM2PLUS driver. All the firmwares and some useful hints can be found at http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/. I have flashed the cards on Win2K, using the WinUpdate program and the NetGear drivers. These drivers can be coopted to operate virtually any card - even Agere-based cards - however, flashing the firmware won't work with the Intersil files. with best regards Jens Glathe. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
