Hello Pavel,

PR> I have never seen that.  Check the sources of prism2_srec - there is an
PR> option ("-i") to override this incompatibility.  As long as you upload to
PR> RAM, the risk to kill the card is low.

PR> My guess is that your primary firmware is not compatible with the 
PR> secondary firmware you are trying to load.  Try loading primary and 
PR> secondary firmware together.

How?

PS see below...

each time it fails i rmmod/insmod and all is well again, 1.3.4 works,
but I'd like to get WDS working with compatibility, I can flash via
windows, but I'd rather not, as it's a PCI card, and I'm planning to
deploy a few of them about the place...
