DWL 520 rev. E

[Joshua Thorp]

Thank You Very Much Pavel!

I did have the latest cvs snap shot.  For whatever reason that space 
was letting my modprobe go through without warning.

Chalk me up as another success.

What I did:

modprobe hostap_pci
utils/prism2_srec -gs wlan0 
~joshua/Desktop/Downloads/primary/pm010102.hex
utils/prism2_srec -gp wlan0 
~joshua/Desktop/Downloads/primary/pm010102.hex
utils/prism2_srec  -rp wlan0 
~joshua/Desktop/Downloads/1.8.0/rf010800.hex
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid SUNSTAR
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.10
ifconfig wlan0 up

I now have a working card.  I am confused about the ifconfig wlan0 up,  
I had to do it twice.  Is that because of changing to managed mode (was 
the first one not necessary)?

Thank You again for all your help now my apartment has wireless 
available in every room!
