Again! DWL-520 Rev. e

I enable the download of the firmware in the hostap_config.h.
After this I compiled the driver.

modprobe hostap_pci no_primary=1
./prism2_srec -gs wlan0 pm010102.hex
./prism2_srec -gip wlan0 pm010102.hex
./prism2_srec -rp wlan0 rf010704.hex

the result of these command: (from dmesg)

It seems that I have some problems with the second firmware or RID.

After this loading I tried iwconfig... it found TWO wlan devices wlan0 and
wifi0.

wifi0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"test"
          Mode:Master  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00  Bit Rate:11Mb/s
          Sensitivity=1/242700000
          Retry min limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"test"
          Mode:Master  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00  Bit Rate:11Mb/s
          Sensitivity=1/242700000
          Retry min limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off


Try to configure the devices with iwconfig... with no success.

I try with another computer and kismet to find the card... with no success.

Anybody any idea?
