  Hi there.  I've been playing with LinuxAP for a
couple of months and now I need to upgrade the
firmware in the WLAN card, in order to get signal
strength statistics in dBm (through the
DBMCOMMSQUALITY RID). I read somewhere that I need a
firmware newer than the 0.7.5 that came with the AP.

  When my AP boots up, it shows:

wlan0: NIC: id=0x8002 v1.0.0
wlan0: PRI: id=0x15 v0.3.0
wlan0: STA: id=0x1f v0.7.5

  I was then trying to figure out the "platform", so I
could select the proper firmware file.  The problem is
that this id (0x8002) does not exist in the Intersil
table
(http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/IDtable.html).

So, which platform should I use? F? Any hints?

I need to update the secondary firmware to 1.4.9 or
higher ASAP, so any advice will be greatly
appreciated.

thanks a lot,
-daniel
