Review card status:: prism2dl -s wlan0
Load a new PDA:: prism2dl -p pdafile.txt wlan0
or: prism2dl -p pdafile.txt -a pda1.txt -a pda2.txt wlan0; Note that the f/w images will most likely contain bogus; plug info after
rewriting the PDA by itself. It is generally recommend; ed to reload the
primage and secondary images at the same time as modify; ing the PDA.
Load a FLASH image _and_ PDA:: prism2dl -p pdafile.txt -f CIS.hex -f primary.hex -f; secondary.hex wlan0
Load a RAM image:: prism2dl -a pda1.txt -r tertiary.hex
Note: PDA records are additive starting with the records
from the card: OR the records from the -p specified file. -a speci; fied file(s)
overwrite, append, or remove records one at a time. If; multiple
files are specified using the -a option, the files are; processed
from left to right. This implies that a record removed; from the
current working PDA may then be added again by a record; that
appears after the "remove" record in the file set.
