If the card is up, i can do that without error messages, but it does not
seem to change anything. iwconfig still says "IEEE 802.11b/g" and the
Bit Rate is still 54 Mb/s (according to iwconfig). 
Also 
	iwpriv <iface>
show the same value for s_profile as before.

If the card is down the comman gives an error:
pebble:~# iwpriv eth2 s_profile 0
Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
s_profile (8BF2): Input/output error
pebble:~#

I'm running the prism54 from the 2.6.10 kernel.

Grtz,
