Re: wi polling (Firmware update?)

Sorry if this has been mentioned before.  I have a Netgear MA311 PCI card,
Prism 2.5

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xef000000-0xef000fff at device 16.0 on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:12:05:17
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.6)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold

Should I try to update the station firmware?  I'm not sure how to do this.

thanks,
Scott
