On my Prism 2.5 mini-PCI card I managed to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.1 / 1.7.4 using the utilities found here: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ First of all, you'll have to boot a M$ OS and install the winupdate utility. Next, in the NIC driver disable the "firmware download" option, as it temporarily loads a new firmware in the NIC RAM, which seems to prevent firmware updates to flash to succeed. You'll have to shut down the machine in order to force a full reset of the NIC. I was kind of paranosic in choosing the appropriate primary / station code, but have latter learned that the "winupdate" utility was smart enough to prevent me from flashing the card with an unappropriate code. Good luck, Marko _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
