can't read PDA or update firmware

[Andy Lutomirski]

Hi-

I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B (PCI), and I can't flash my firmware:

# prism2_srec wlan0 sf010704.hex
srec summary for sf010704.hex
Component: 0x001f 1.7.4 (station firmware)

Could not read wlan PDA. This requires PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT definition in
driver/module/hostap_config.h.

dmesg shows:

I'm running the today's hostap CVS devel snapshot on linux 2.6.0-test10
with a couple minor patches which shouldn't affect this.  hostap 0.1.2
has the same problem.  I have no other obvious problems with the driver.

Any suggestions?  I'm willing to try adding debug code to the driver if
that would help.

Thanks,
Andy
