PDA and other files for WPC11 v2.5 ?

I have inherited an 'ill' Linksys WPC11 (ver2.5) PCMCIA card.

I suspect that there is a problem with its firmware, so am trying to flash it to a "known good" linksys firmware (the one from their website).

Winupdate will not see the card so I have resorted to the Intersil DOS flash utility which detects the card and attempts to program it however, it starts off with 
"PD item 405 not in PDA. Using default in hex file."
"PD item 406 not in PDA. Using default in hex file."

and then later finishes off with 

"Bad status 64c0 auxDisable failed!Download FAILED."
"ERROR ENCOUNTERED"


If someone has access to a PDA file for this card I would be grateful, also the "Initial" firmware file for the 2.5 Prism card.

I hope this makes sense.

NB I've tried the card in the linux box and get the following dmesg output:
hostap_cs, can anyone diagnose anything ?
