Corrupted Prism2 Card

[Brian Sturgill]

Try using Genesis mode : Bring it up with ram based firmware and then 
reflash with flash firmware.  Here is a clip from the mini-howto....

Apparently prism2_srec can do more than that. It can be used to RAM-based 
downloading. Jouni also mentioned one way to download primary firmware alone 
in Genesis mode.

....
And the new magic prism2_srec commands:

# Download primary firmware into RAM using Genesis mode
./prism2_srec -g wlan0 ak010100.hex
# card is now in PRI-only mode with very limited functionality

# download station firmware into RAM
./prism2_srec -r wlan0 rf010409.hex
# card is now in normal mode
