First, you have to add your card definition to /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
Edit this file and add :

Code: [Select]

card "PLANEX COMMUNICXATIONS INC."
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0010
   bind "hostap_cs"
It's time to flash your card (credits to gryning).
Download the latest firmware from :
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/1.8.4.tar.bz2 (extract rf010804.hex)
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/primary.tar.bz2 (extract pm010102.hex)

Then use this script :

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme default
prism2_srec -gs wlan0 /pm010102.hex
prism2_srec -gp wlan0 /pm010102.hex
iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
prism2_srec -rp wlan0 path/rf010804.hex
iwconfig wlan0 mode 2
cardctl scheme planexWhere <path> is the path to the firmware.

Use ifconfig -a and you will see your card interface, now put it up using ifconfig <interface> up and it will works.

If it's doesn't work properly, verify that you have hostap and hostap_cs module loaded (lsmod | grep hostap) and try to plug the card one more time.

I have Planex wireless card and i have problem that it could not detect on RHEL4.
I tried this tip, and  It worked, it was brilliant
But, after restart system or reinsert card, I could not find wireless card.
Now , how can I download new firmware into flash of card. I want to use "-f" parametr.
But, I tried several time, there was some error .
I only changed "g" to "f" on script.





Please advice me, to download firmware into flash of card.
