Subject: Yet another successful flashing story.

   Hello,
   I've found your Prism flashing HOWTO extremely useful, so I'm
contributing my story, even if it's short and really uninteresting
(luckily).
   My card is Netgear MA401NA (pcmcia_cs cardmgr reports it as MA401RA,
but it has MA401NA written on the label on the box) plugged into
Vadem-469 ISA-to-PCMCIA adapter. After installing hostap CVS (had to
fight for a while with thelatest release package, which wouldn't
compile on my fresh 2.6.2 kernel) I read about firmware flashing and
checked my card. It was:
  NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
  PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.0.7
  STAID: id=0x001f v1.3.6 (station firmware)
   So I read your HOWTO and HostAP mailing list archives for
last two months, downloaded latest pk* and sf* firmwares, tested
them with prism2_srec -v and flashed. Everything went fine and my card
is now:
  NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
  PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
  STAID: id=0x001f v1.8.0 (station firmware)

   Thank you again for the HOWTO -- I wouldn't dare to flash my pretty
shiny new card without it. :)
