I've tried to use this firmware on my Netgear MA401 by downloading it with:
/prism2_srec -r eth2 01-S1010409.HEX

but it stated, that this file was no downloadable firmware, and flashing 
it right down without trying seem a bit risky to me.
Any suggestions?

Please report your results!

This wouldn't make any big deal (e.g. firmwarebased WEP) I  believe?

I also could verify, that als 1.4.9 files I found so far, need a nic-id 
of 800A and greater :-(
