I've done this recently in Linux.  I paid only $30 for my Smart 
Technologies 8MB card -- it works flawlessly, once you get the hang of 
it.  I actually figured it all out before I found LinuxAP, when I was 
dorking with OpenAP.  It seems you need a util from OpenAP, I think it's 
not in LinuxAP.

I wish I took better notes...

The utils is wrflash.  Read about it a bit, works great it's under 
opeap-0.1.1/alios/wrflash.  I think I cat'ed 4x the 2MB image together 
and wrote it to the card with wrflash. 

The IMPORTANT thing is read the image back from the card.  Do a 'diff' 
or 'md5sum' to make sure it's the same.  And rememeber to use the write 
device like /dev/mem0c0c.  If you get correct image back you got it.  
The AP will boot off of it and do its thing.


Also read the image back from
