[Prism54-users] [NEWS] Prism54 firmware going down

[Simon.Green@vodafone.co.nz]

Do you have a HOWTO or anything on firmware extraction? It's probably
very easy (eg, rename this file), but without a hint, many people will
probably just pass over all these cards for Linux altogether. Which is a
pity, as the driver works great (thankyou!) and the cards seem pretty
good too. There are not many 802.11g alternatives for Linux yet. :(


Cheers
Simon
