Hi Guys!!

We have setup two HostAP PCs running in master
mode.Now We are planning to setup those PCS for
wds(p2p), but still running master mode so we can
still have wireless clients connected to both HostAPs.
We have read the README from the hostap driver for wds
setup and it needs 1.5.x or higher sta firmware to
support wds.Here is the specs for both PCs:

1. RH8
2. kernel 2.4.20
3. kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31
4. hostap-0.0.3
5. wireless-tools-25-1
6. Pc card: Zcomax XI-325H

I googled for the 1.5.x/higher sta firmware and got
one from
http://www.netgate.com/support/prism_firmware/. The
version i got was 1.7.4, but can't seem to load the
new firmware to the pc card.Here are the messages i
got after doing './hostap_diag wlan0', './prism2_srec
wlan0  -r SF010704.HEX'.

 [root at MOLAVE utils]# ./hostap_diag wlan0
