I am using prism2_srec from the development cvs snapshot.
 * Firmware image downloader for Host AP driver
 * (for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 cards)
 *
 * Copyright (c) 2002-2004, Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>

The kernel modules were created by patching the kernel and rebuilding
the kernel. I did uncomment the #define PRISM2_NON_VOLATILE_DOWNLOAD
from the hostap_config.h and copied that into
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless before i built the kernel.

Within the kernel configuration i enabled compiled in ability to upload
to the card.

The card still works fine after the attempt.

Hostap diag shows

Dmesg on card loadup shows
