card failure after primary fw upgrade...

[casey lewis]

Hi all.

I recently flashed my working implementation of
slackware 9 (2.4.22) - hostap v0.1.2 (pri fw 1.0.0 /
sta fw 1.4.2 - linksys wpc11 v2) to sta fw 1.4.9 and
upgraded the driver to hostap v0.1.3. That worked
flawlessly and the box came back up working fine after
a restart. I was feeling brave and figured I'd upgrade
the pri fw to 1.1.1. After that flashing I started
getting the messages below and now have a non-working
implementation :(

When I flashed the pri fw I didn't flash a sta fw with
it. i.e. I ran:

./hostap-utils-0.1.3/prism2_srec wlan0
./primary/pk010101.hex

should I have run:
./hostap-utils-0.1.3/prism2_srec wlan0
./primary/pk010101.hex ./1.4.9/sf010409.hex

That might be my whole problem...


If that is not the problem, I'm kinda puzzled by the
output of the commands below. I see the driver loading
in dmesg but when I run hostap_diag I get the message
below which makes me think the driver didn't get
installed.

output of hostap_diag (v0.1.3):
a
# ./hostap-utils-0.1.3/hostap_diag wlan0
Host AP driver diagnostics information for 'wlan0'

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No such device
Could not communicate with the kernel driver.

I've also tried flashing the sta fw to 1.4.2 in hopes
that I could squeeze it in there but I get this error:

ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: No such device
Missing wlan component info
Could not read wlan RIDs

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
