Hi,
I'm running hostap-0.2.5 trying to get a DLink 520 going as access point. I
understand that I need to upload firmware to RAM, and am trying to do so.
I've updated the hostap_fw_load script to reflect (what I hope are) the proper
images for the card:
PRI=/usr/local/etc/firmware/af010104.hex
STA=/usr/local/etc/firmware/rf010704.hex
Also I note that in the driver source, driver/modules/hostap_config.h has
PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT #define'ed (not changed from default):
#define PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT
However, hostap_fw_load is complaining that PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT is not set!
Please help. I'm running kernel 2.4.25 on gentoo.
Thanks,
Josh
