Okay...
I have scoured the internet ceaselessly for the last 2 hours. I have
been a this all day straight now.
I found the page where I can download the firmware, but the update
utilities for linux or dos are nowhere to be found. Can anybody please
tell me where I can get we110p.exe or prism2_srec from? All the links
on the hawking site are broken.
I have been reading about this here: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/
I assume this is what you meant, right Todd?
Thanks.

Any Idea where I can get this firmware update from, and the utility?

Here is what I have:
OpenBSD 3.6
IBM 390e laptop
D-Link DWL7100-AP (802.11a/g wireless access point, claims backward
compat. with 802.11b)
US Robotics USR2410 (802.11b wireless card)
A RedHat Linux DHCP server running ISC's dhcpd
I have a gentoo linux laptop working with this wireless setup. I
just can't get my OBSD laptop working.
The machine seems to detect the card. Dmesg:
wi0 at pcmcia1 function 0 "U.S. Robotics, IEEE 802.11b PC-CARD,
Version 01.02" port 0xa000/64
wi0: PRISM2 HWB3163 rev.A, Firmware 0.3.0 (primary), 0.7.6
(station), address 00:90:d1:08:44:7d
I have tried to construct my hostname.wi0 as suggested in the manpage:
!/sbin/wicontrol wi0 -f 11 -x1 -E3
inet 10.100.100.29 255.255.255.0 10.100.100.255 nwid myssid nwkey
0xmylonghexkey mediaopt hostap
dhcp
Your firmware is very old and cannot support hostap (let alone
enhanced security mode). I'm using station firmware 1.7.1 on my
PRISM2 HWB3163 cards and it works quite well. You should be able
to use the DOS-based prism flasher to update the firmware.
