(bcc'ing someone else who asked about where I got the firmware..) running a recently cvsupped 4.7 (around Feb 10) on an pavillion 9795c (don't know the exact model motherboard). (this worked for my MA401/MA301 combo...) I used the WinUpdate flash utility found in dwl650_firmware_8c2.exe (can get it from dlink...the link I found was here: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL650/Firmware/dwl650_firmware_8c2.exe (you only want the utility and *not* the firmare included in it). I got the firmare for my card from netgate at http://www.netgate.com/support/prism_firmware/1.4.9.zip I found out about this from reading http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostap/2002-08/1701.html and http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostap/2002-07/1379.html (Make sure you use the correct firmware...read the accompanying documentation...) Good luck! --Sam On Sat, Feb 15, 2003 at 08:04:16PM +1000, Doug Young wrote: > > FYI....looks like this is simply a firmware issue. > > A firmare upgrade seems to have cleared this > > up for me.
