I'm not (yet) into 'prism2dl' issues, so I'm guessing here.

But, your two lines:
>>Prism2dl: Failled to read /etc/wlan//prism2_r1.hex
>>Reading S-Record file /etc/wlan//prism2_r1.hex
both have double-slashes, which look suspiciously incorrect.
And, that would explain the earlier 'no such file'.
So, see if you can find someplace where maybe an unwanted 
trailing-slash is specified for a 'directory'.  Software
often blindly appends a '/' and if there is already a
trailing '/', then you erroneously get two in a row,
resulting in this type of error.

Hope this helps...

"failed to find PDR for plugrec"?


Hi.
I've been trying to update an USR 2410 pcmcia card from 0.7.6 to 0.8.3 in
order to be able to use monitor mode, but none of the windows tools I've
tried have worked properly, so I'm trying prism2dl to do this.
Wlan-ng version is 0.2.1-pre9 and kernel 2.4.21.
I finally managed to compile prism2dl 0.7.1, changing from HFA384x_PDA_BASE
to HFA3841_PDA_BASE in the .c  file. Is this right for this card or should
it be HFA3842_PDA_BASE?

I've tried with 1, and this is what happens when inserting the card in
/var/log/messages:

Prism2dl: No such file or directory
Prism2dl: Failled to read /etc/wlan//prism2_r1.hex
Reading S-Record file /etc/wlan//prism2_r1.hex
(even google can't find this file in the web!)

When trying prism2dl -f firmware-8.3.hex wlan0, i get:

Prism2dl: error: Failed to find PDR for plugrec 0x202.
(same for 203, 204, 300, 301, 101, 103, 104, 105 (this appears 3 times!),
107 and 006)

Found a mail here using a missing.pda file with prism2dl -a, but the result
is:
Prism2dl: pda_write()->flashdl_state msg indicates failure, w/
resultcode=11, aborting pda download.

Any idea how to solve this and update the firmware? Thanks in advance
