Hello Jim, It indeed looks like the primary firmware is loading fine but there is a problem with the station firmware. Are you sure the station firmware is not corrupted?
Please try the follwing steps: -Comment out the auto wlan0 line in /etc/network/interfaces and do a reboot -download fresh firmware files (maybe an older version?) -download the primary and station firmware to the cards by hand with the prism2_srec tool -Bring up the interface by "ifup wlan0" Eric > Things seem to point to the cards as running only primary firmware. > Whats > the next step?
