 |
|
hey people!
is it possible to automatically load the prism2 firmware on a pcmcia card when inserted?
i have a netgear MA401 and i always have to
| Code: | # update firmware of ma401 card (new hostap firmware)
prism2_srec wlan0 -gp ~/Latest-prism/primary-RAM/ak010104.hex
prism2_srec wlan0 -rp ~/Latest-prism/secondary-RAM/rf010804.hex
|
before starting the network interface for this card (in order to use WPA).
regards and thanks in advance,
sirld

Hi,
i think, you can do it in the modules.d directory via a pre or postload script which runs before or after the module is loaded.
