as my card has 1.3.x STA fw which is no good fro wpa I have to have the
system reset the card and download the fw to ram on every resume. I
additionally have
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
pre-up prism2_srec wlan0 -r /etc/hostap/rf010804.hex

I think so Maybe in the gpe ui use "allow users to control everything
or similar..". I do sudo w/ NOPASSWD for a group of commands to do some
things as a user w/o being asked for a passwd. {I am treating this
device as real machine...}

Is v1.7.4 the fw version in the card's flash ?
