Proxim Harmony 802.11b

[Colin Worth]

Hello,

   I am trying to set up a Proxim Harmony 802.11b PCMCIA card.  There was 
a previous message about this card, saying to flash it with a new 
PDA and a new CIS.  But I am not sure this is correct for my case, because 
the card identifies itself with MANFID

0x126,0x8000,

instead of 0x126,0x0002, as it listed in the previous message.  

Maybe this is just part of the screwed up CIS (?).  What is the correct 
MANFID?  Does it matter?

Also, the back of the card has a sticker on it that says:
Vcc=3.3, MAC=xxxxxx-xxxxxx, but hostap seems to identify it as a 5.0 volt 
card.

Here is the output with options: ignore_cis_vcc=1:

(I also tried no_primary=1 and that did not change the output):

Here is what happens if you try to flash a new primary firmware (not sure 
if this is the right hex file):

prism2_srec wifi0 -sg pm010101.hex
srec summary for pm010101.hex
Included file name: pm010101.hex
Component: 0x0015 1.1.1 (primary firmware)


Verifying update compatibility and combining data:
Failed to open '/proc/net/hostap/wifi0/debug' for reading.
Incompatible update data.


If the problem is that I need new PDA and CIS, I would appreciate someone 
on the list sending me the necessary PDA and CIS data from your card or 
from some other source.  
The previous message said that such data from most types of prism2 cards 
should be okay (doesn't have to be proxim harmony).

Thanks,
Colin W
