Hi all,

i have just read some messages about a succesfull flashing of a dead
card http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2003-April/002333.htm

Yesterday i tried to update the sta of my senao 2511cd ext2 to 1.4.9
using winupdate and fimrware of www.senao.com the process finished
susccesfully but know the card does not work, on windows its detected
but 4 or 5 seconds before the ligth turns off and dissapears form the
system, on linux the hostap driver ends showing a timeout performing a
cmd command.

On linux i cand succesfully ask for the status and config using cardctl,
and on msdos i can succesfully get data using the msdos flash utlility.

I have tried to re-flash the card using the dos flash utility but ends
telling me this:
