Jun Sun,

I have successfully flashed the firmware for a SonicWALL Long Range Wireless
card. It is a re-branded Senao SL-2511CD Plus card with the Prism 2.5
chipset. Flashing was done on Debian Linux with kernel 2.6.8 and with
prism2_srec compiled from the hostAP utilities.

Initially, it had primary v1.0.0 and stationary v1.4.9 firmware. For some
odd reason, kismet barely detected any networks for me, so I decided to
flash the firmware. I used pk010101.hex and sf010704.hex for the primary and
stationary firmware respectively. Before the flash, /var/log/messages showed

wifi0: NIC: id=0x800c v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.0.0
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.4.9

After flashing, I now have

wifi0: NIC: id=0x800c v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.7.4

If you need the test run output -- basically running prism2_srec without the
-f -- just email me. Again, thanks for the great information.
