That's nice to hear. What did you need to change in the driver or
prism2_srec?

I modified no-PRI f/w mode to automatically determine SRAM type and
card type (PCI or not). Could someone with DWL-520 E (or any other PCI
card without PRI f/w in flash) test whether the current CVS snapshot is
enough to work with such a card? At least, the new version seems to work
fine with DWL-650 P1.

8B2B is SIOCGIWENCODE. In other words, something is trying to read WEP
key configuration from the driver, but this program seems to have a bug
(invalid buffer passed for SIOCGIWENCODE). This could be a wireless
status tool, etc.
