Netgear MA311 firmware update, some strage "warnings"

[Laurento Frittella]

I'm trying to update my Prism 2.5 NETGEAR MA311, I read
http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ but I'd like to have your
opinion about these outputs (without and with -v option)


# prism2_srec wlan0 PK010101.HEX SF010802.HEX 
srec summary for PK010101.HEX
Component: 0x0015 1.1.1 (primary firmware)

srec summary for SF010802.HEX
Component: 0x001f 1.8.2 (station firmware)


Verifying update compatibility and combining data:
Plug record length mismatch (PDR=0x0001): 12 != 16
==> extend from default
PRI: old iface 1:4-4 new iface 1:4-4
Could not find data position for plugging PDR 0x0413 at 0x0000118a
(len=2)
PDR 0x0413 is not in wlan card PDA and there is no default data.
Ignoring plug record.
Allowing S3 overlap due to CRC-16 signature at 0x007e17fe (was: ffff)
OK.



More verbose output...
