PR> Yes, it would be a good idea.  Actually, I have just did it so I can

PR> Get the driver from Intersil.  The website is hard to navigate and full of
PR> Java, so that's the direct link:
PR> http://www.intersil.com/design/prism/ss/crack-n-peel/prod-drvr/drv209/ISL3PRDSUIT-EXE_WIN_(2-0-9).zip

PR> Unzip it.  Get the latest Wine (I'm using wine-cvs-opengl-101602-1 from
PR> http://wine.dataparty.no/).  Run the executable under Wine.  It should
PR> install.

PR> If it doesn't install or you don't want to click on the license agreement,
PR> find data1.cab and data1.hdr in the Windows temporary directory.  It you
PR> take this approach, you need a program called i5comp.  I'm using version
PR> 2.01: ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/os2/win32os2/i5comp201.zip

PR> Run it under wine:
PR> wine i5comp x data1.cab

PR> You should now have several files.  You need PRISMNDS.sys.  Remove the
PR> binary parts at the beginning and the end of the file in an editor (we
PR> really should fix split_combined_hex to make it unnecessary).  Now get
PR> split_combined_hex and prism2_srec from CVS HostAP.  prism2_srec needs to
PR> be compiled, split_combined_hex is a script.  Run split_combined_hex to
PR> split the PRISMNDS.sys file:

PR> ./split_combined_hex <PRISMNDS.sys

PR> Now you should have a directory with a random name containing the firmware
PR> files.  Smaller files are primary firmware.  Larger files are secondary
PR> firmware.  If somebody can host those files, then please put them on the
PR> web - it should not be necessary for everyone to go through the steps
PR> described above!

PR> Now make sure that your HostAP driver is compiled with firmware loading 
PR> support.  For that, uncomment "#define PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT" in 
PR> driver/modules/hostap_config.h

PR> Load the driver and try to load all those files by prism2_srec.  Load 
PR> files to RAM, not to flash - this firmware is meant to be loaded to RAM.  
PR> It may happen that you don't need primary firmware - then just load the 
PR> secondary firmware.  It prism2_srec says that the NIC id doesn't match - 
PR> try next firmware.

PR> When prism2_srec says OK, you can start using the card with the new 
PR> firmware.  Run dmesg to make sure that you have the new firmware.
PR> If prism2_srec doesn't say OK with any firmware, then you are out of 
PR> luck.  Try some other firmware or card.

PR> I could successfully load rf010506.hex into a Linksys CompactFlash card 
PR> WCF-11, which originally had braindamaged 1.4.2 firmware.  Now it works as 
PR> an Access Point.
