Hi,
Following Jun Sun's mini-HOWTO (http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/)
I tried to flash my Wifi card with a newer firmware.
Here are some informations about my wifi card:

Could not read wlan PDA. This requires PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT

===============================
An strace let me to see that:
open("/proc/net/hostap/wifi0_temp/pda", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
write(1, "Could not read wlan PDA. This re"..., 77Could not read wlan
PDA. This requires PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT definition in
) = 77
write(1, "driver/module/hostap_config.h.\n",
31driver/module/hostap_config.h.
) = 31
munmap(0x2b29279d1000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?
Process 5234 detached
===============================
Looking for /proc/net/hostap/wifi0_temp/pda, I found only
/proc/net/hostap/wlan0/pda.
Of course, trying to replace wifi0_temp by wlan0 doesn't work because it
doesn't find any NIC named as wlan0 through ifconfig or iwconfig (I guess).
So, any clue on how to get it working ???
