Feel free to add it to the page. I have a SMC2532W-B card, it came with firmware 1.4.9. I flashed the secondary firmware to version 1.8.4, both the test (no "-f" option) and the actual download to flash (with "-f" option) went ok. The card appeared to work fine (ifconfig and the various wireless tools - iwconfig, iwlist, etc. - worked without problem), but, for some reason, I could not get an IP address from the wireless network of my campus. This was strange, because I never had a problem with DHCP ("dhcpcd wlanX"). I also tried another card to check if it was a WLAN problem, but the other card could get the address immediately. So I flashed the card with secondary firmware 1.7.4, and now I can get the IP address again. Don't really know what was going on with 1.8.4, but 1.7.4 seems to work smoothly... bye, Marco
