How to upgrade firmware on PCMCIA card.

[Adam M Ryan]

Here is the error:

kernel: wi0: device timeout
kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x8000
kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x8000
kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

last message repeated 19 times
kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 2372 bytes on NIC
kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed (error 12)
kernel: wi0: interface not running

Found this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=53927 
Fix
Update WLAN card firmware.
from
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.5), Station (1.3.4)
to
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.9)



I know I need to update the firmware, but I really don't know how.

Linksys wpc11 v3
Frebsd 5.2.1  

If anyone could give me a hand it would be great, linksys site wasn't too
much help.


Thanks
